Random Thoughts

This Blog is supposed to be about things that makes me think ... How the world works and other random thoughts ... And oh yeah if i forgot to say it **Im in Love ... Im in Love with the worlds most beautiful girl ... This one is for her ... I guess this will be my journal till I meet her ...

329 - Names - storage of data and security

Let me start by quoteing this "But there is another problem ie a huge data base need to be maintained for every single person on earth." ... Will this really be a problem? ... lets see ... but a word of warning im not a mathematical genius :P .. do correct me if im wrong ;) ... these are all my random thoughts afterall

Problem ... so how much information will a word consisting a string of 26 letters with 26 uniquely identifiable characters can hold?
lets see 26 characters means base 26
= (Z x 26^25) + (Z x 26^24) + (Z x 26^23) + (Z x 26^22) + (Z x 26^21) + (Z x 26^20) + (Z x 26^19) + (Z x 26^18) + (Z x 26^17) + (Z x 26^16) + (Z x 26^15) + (Z x 26^14) + (Z x 26^13) + (Z x 26^12) + (Z x 26^11) + (Z x 26^10) + (Z x 26^09) + (Z x 26^08) + (Z x 26^07) + (Z x 26^06) + (Z x 26^05) + (Z x 26^04) + (Z x 26^03) + (Z x 26^02) + (Z x 26^01) + (Z x 26^0)

the highest value is Z that is 26 ....
Now tell me how many yottabytes of data does that make ... how much more info do u want to cram in ones own name? .. is it not possible to use ones name much more efficiently than we are currently used to? ... well i think its possible

Note:-A yottabyte (derived from the SI prefix yotta-) is a unit of information or computer storage equal to one septillion (one long scale quadrillion or 1024) bytes. It is commonly abbreviated YB. Because of irregularities in the definition and usage of terms for byte multiples, the exact number can be either one of the following:
  • 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes — 10008, or 1024.
  • 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 bytes — 10248, or 280.
For example if the name "George Walker Bush" is constructed according to the rules of an algorithm it would have stored more than a petabyte of data ...

but though i could see a possibility ... i cant really make out how to store ... and im not sure if it is possible at all :-/

Then another thing im confused about is about counting and coding ... If you notice how huffman coding works ... from one language we are trying to compress to another language ... why? .. efficiency increases but it will seem that computation also increases ... but i guess it may not be so ... and numerial system is another type of language right? ... **thinking** ... ok more about this later

How to Solve Inefficiency ... computers are used everywhere ... im typing this with the help of one and you are viewing this with the help of one ... but i wonder why computers can never match our intelligence level ... i guess they are inherently inefficient ... because they can only think or understand to the base of 2 ... on or an off stage of a transistor ... until quantum computing comes into existence they are not capable of anything more than that ... humans are capable of thinking and computing in a higher base ... that creates an alphabet (the basic building block of any language) and numerical system ...

Coming to language and numerical system ... i have a different take on them ... more in next post ... keep tuned :P

Ok sooo ... i wonder if our problem of data storage is over?

Problem ... security ... this is a tough one ... if we use two strings instead of one ... one named at the time of birth encoded with previous history ... through out the life time the thing or person will be gathering data ... updating them into a volatile liquid storage which changes from time to time ... something like quantum cryptography ... in which the retrieval of data uploaded is impossible to decipher once acessed ... part of the data which is encoded before the naming of the person/thing can be visible/accessed by the class of the thing/person which/who is trying to access the data of the first person/thing... the data which is updated in the life time of the person/thing can be made accessible only after the life time (not necessarly, there mayb exceptions) is over ... after the life time the data is permanently sealed by generating another string of number ... something like a birth certificate and a death certificate ... but far far more efficient and effective ...

Problems solved ... Crime fighting will become redundant ... History will become history ... Biograpies no problem ... even the senses of the person or the inputs to a non living thing ... input or output ... anything can be stored ... speed radars & video surveillance will become history ... when you become the system ... you cannot defy the system ... scary indeed???

Ofcourse real time sourcing, transmiting and encoding are further problems :P ... but dont worry it will be ages when these will be established ... but im sure one day these things will come into existence ... tc byee
