Under one of these mountains, behind a door of 3 tons and a half (who could resist nuclear attack) and after bypass some labyrinthine corridors, we can find Swiss Fort Knox , a veritable fortress for the European Union is funding part, which shall be deposited all valuable cultural and scientific knowledge to not ever lose, although there is a colossal disaster. You can see more details of this time capsule, but way after giving the armored jump.
researchers place a team called the " Planets "(take it seriously) and want to ensure that you can access valuable data forever. As one of the leaders says, "Einstein's notes are still legible, but the digital files of Stephen Hawking could cease to be in decades."
Today we have completed the 4 years since the project began, and "Planets" (really ... is not there a basketball team called that?) Have placed a cap inside, well deep in the heart of the Swiss fortress. In this capsule can be find punch cards, microfilm, diskettes, tapes, CDs, DVDs, flash drives and Blu-Rays . They want future researchers have everything you need to rebuild our media, our stories, no matter the technology gap.
Andreas Rauber, professor in Vienna and member of the Planets, explains:
"Unlike the hieroglyphics carved in stone, or ink on papyrus, the digital data last millennia, if not years. If not properly could preserve cost us billions in the future. "
