    … if we could figure out scanning and printing at the atomic scale, with zero defects

    I think this is a bigger issue currently than sending large amounts of data across the globe. Though I wonder how much data a full copy would demand.

        I was getting incredibly confused because the copy/paste didn’t copy the superscript for the exponents. I was like, “there’s definitely more than 1027 atoms in the body… wait, how are there supposedly only 1021 bytes of storage in the whole world? Oooh…”

        Now I’m wondering how long it would realistically take for that to become a not-insane demand. I know data storage multiplies pretty rapidly, but not that rapidly, so are we talking decades or centuries?
