1. the energy in 215 big macs is the same amount of energy that can move a car up to 35 kilometres

2. A Big Mac is not the same size across the world, and therefore cannot be used as a unit for energy.

3. The energy of 10 Big Macs from any country/region is far more than enough to move a car 35km.

 

E²=(mc²)²+(pc)²

 

Assuming we can focus all of the energy and that the car and Big Mac are at rest wrt each other, E²_{Big Mac}=KE²_car.

 

(mc²)²=(0.5m_carv²)²

 

mc²=0.5m_carv²

 

2mc²=m_carv²

 

m_{Big Mac}=200g

m_car=1500kg

 

So, v²=2(2x10^-1*9x10¹⁶)/1.5x10³)=24x10¹²

 

So, v_car=5x10⁶ m/s

 

How much do you think the rolling friction is?

 

And that was for one Big Mac.

4. To build a computer with the same storage capabilities as the brain, it would require approximately 10 Tera-Watts of electricity. That's 10*10^12 (10,000,000,000,000) watts. The human brain uses about ~10 watts.

 

(be advised, the use of the word approximately can avoid endless debate on the facts)

5. If space is infinitely dense, then a 1cm stick contains all of the information we could ever have.

About 7 billion such computers have been built without needing that much power in aggregate, never mind individually.

Not only that but they were produced fairly cheaply and usually by unpaid labour.

Were they purely data storage arrays, or actual functioning computers? I assumed the accuracy of the statement because I copied it word for word by Laurence Krauss in an interview he was in, I'm 99% sure.

 

(attempting to source where he said it, think I found the interview but it's 1.5 hours long, this will be fun.)

 

OK, so I didn't quote him, I paraphrased him. My apologies Krauss:

I think most of us can be described as functioning computers rather than just data stores.

Think about the number 7 billion.
