Could it have a practical use in space? Which is both already a vacuum and close to absolute zero temperature wise?


A practical application of storing data in space that could just easily be beamed to earth to be stored?


From everything I’m seeing so far, all protocols for space are stateful to deal with the incredibly high latency.

I can see a future where the space between earth and mars is a constellation of massive caching servers.


you could have rotating disks that can encode data as they turn towards the sun.

Or the sun's light could drive the rotation using magnetic force.


Please, we can only get so excited.
