Expanding on a conversation from elsewhere, assuming the human brain has 2.5 petabytes of memory (equivalent to 2,500 TB, or 2.5 million GB), I figure it would take approximately 5 million PB (1.25 quadrillion GB) of server space to upload the current population of Idaho to a singularity. That assumes a population of 1.5 million and a sufficient amount of free drive space to play with. Thats not taking into consideration RAM and CPU requirements, which would have to be quite substantial indeed, well beyond what we have at the present moment. And Idaho is just a drop in the bucket. To have a true singularity to upload to wed have to talk in terms of ninabytes (1 quadrillion TB) or tenabytes (1 quintillion TB). Those are computing storage units so large and theoretical theyre not acknowledged by the International System of Units as existing yet.
