    There’s a few random projects that aim to store bulk data and human information in durable materials.

    Professor Peter Kazansky, from the ORC, says: “It is thrilling to think that we have created the technology to preserve documents and information and store it in space for future generations. This technology can secure the last evidence of our civilisation: all we’ve learnt will not be forgotten.”

    I’m learning most of the articles are all based on this guy from 2013 until now it’s still been in mostly research phase though proof of concepts have been done.

    I’m trying to find evidence of another thing I swear I heard about where someone had some instructions from first principals how to read the data, but all the way from something like understanding the language to data format. I listened to something in a tech podcast but can’t find it.
