| Jan 29, 2011 at 7:06 | comment | added | Adrian Petrescu | Only in a group of theoretical physicists does a question about the entire observable universe and a question about a 1cc volume sound "almost identical"... ;) | |

| Jan 29, 2011 at 6:23 | comment | added | jfs | @space_cadet: yes, the questions are very similar, but 1. @tylerl's question explicitly requires 3D ("without assuming more dimensions") Could additional dimensions be used? 2. The second difference is additivity: do 10 cc contain 10 times more information exactly (or there could be an interaction that allows more than 10 times)? 3. Does the the accepted answer physics.stackexchange.com/questions/2281/… is the only possible approach? | |
| Jan 29, 2011 at 6:03 | comment | added | user346 | This question seems to be identical to a previous question on Maximum theoretical data density. The difference is here the OP is asking about the data in the entire Universe as opposed to in a 1cc volume. | |
