holographic versatile disk

how does it work? i heard that it can hold 3900 gigabytes of data, and im wondering how do they accomplish this feat?

Inside the box is a very smart hamster

they use the other simultaneous states of every particle in the alternate universes or some shit.

Can't be bothered looking it up, but if I remember rightly they encode data to multiple layers on the same disc. Think of many many BluRay discs sitting on top of another, only you can adjust your reading laser to only see the layer you want at the time.

Looked into it, doesn't work quite the way I thought.
There are only really two layers, one with pure data and the other with location info to be fed to the servo controls. The holographic data layer uses a higher frequency ('green') laser to improve the data density, in the same way as BluRay can store more than standard frequency CD/DVD.
The real storage gain comes from the way the data is represented: rather than a 'yes' or 'no' (1 or 0, on or off, etc) like the pits in a CD data layer, HVDs have info written to them in 3D structures - an entire structure can be read with one laser pulse.

Either that or Wiki has failed me.

Sounds interesting.  I wonder what RedCream thinks of this?

Zionist plot. Will repeat above comments but randomly italicize words

It's just tech.  We're geared up to pipeline and mainstream such developments.  But, more energy efficient housing and cars?  No, fuck THAT.  We need a larger MP3 player a lot more!

I don't randomly italicize.  Given most of you fuckers are the TV generation, I have to focus your attention thusly on things which I've determined are most important in my text.

Just give up noone likes you

Post the link to the complete survey you accomplished or it's not true.

There are only 3 people on 4chan.  Seeing as both >>9 and myself hate you,  I'd say that's everyone (excluding yourself of course).

>>11 Don't forget the memebots (but the memebots don't like RedCream either).

Jeepers, I like RedCream, he's erudite and cultured

Post the link proving there are only 3 people on 4chan, or your conclusion isn't true.

It's a known fact that anonymous is one person, so it's you, and the two personalities of a schizophrenic anon.

Matrix Disc > Holographic shit Disc

you NOOBS

Post a link to this known fact or it isn't true.

Simply put;

Regular CDs store data in 2 dimensions, length and width.
Holographic discs store data in 3 dimensions using depth too.
