Today I came across this: http://myprops.org/content/The-human-ce ... tion/?ac=1
It says that the human cell contains about 75MB of information

But when I did some calculations of my own I came up with 20 times that number
I read on wiki that a haploid (sperm or egg cell) has 3 billion base-pairs (AT, CG, TA or GC), so a diploid (normal cell) has 6 billion base pairs
One base pair is 2bits of information so a cell has 12billion bits of information. 8 bits is one byte so we got 150000000 bytes and thats about 1,4 gig.

EDIT: I saw some other sites using this info to calculate the data transfer of an ejaculation. So I'm gonna do that too.
Since sperm is haploid one cell will contain about 700MB (that's like a CD o.o)
According to wiki the average sperm count per ejaculation is between 50 million and 150 million.
So 700*150000000 is about 97.8 petabytes of information during one ejaculation

Since an average ejaculation lasts about 5 seconds we have 19.56 pentabytes/s

Isn't math just awesome?
Now you all know that you're little friend is faster the the fastest pc on earth!
EDIT: Sorry girls you would be a lot slower since you only send 700MB a month
(((((700/30)/24)/60)/60)/60) making that about 5 bytes/s

Thus proving that, indeed, women are dumber than men.

I wouldn't say dumber just slower.
This has nothing to do with brains O.o

I'm gonna try and make a formula for the amount of data that a human contains.
One where you input weight and get an answer

EDIT:
A website told me that the human body has either 10, 50 or 100 trillion cells so I took the avrage: 5.33333333 × 10^13
One cell is about 10^-11kg
the average weight of a male is 79.5 kg

The human body is 60% water so 40% of the mass is pure (dry) cells.
To compensate the mass we take 30% of the cell mass, and that's 3.0*10^-12 kg/cell
So (Mass*0.4)/ 3.0*10^-12 = amount of cells
(79.5*0.4)/ 3.0*10^-12 = 1.06 × 10^13 (80.12500% error so we will add this, /20*80=*4)
1 cell was 1.4 gigabytes so
(((Mass*0.4)/ 3.0*10^-12) *4)*1.4 = amount of gig
gig to exabyte is *9.3*10^-10
(((mass*0.4)/ (3.0*10^-12)) *4)*1.4)*(9.3*10^-10) = amount of data in exabytes
In short: Data in exabytes = M*694.4

Try to keep it down, no matter how sarcastic you might be.

Wow , i can ejaculate CD's , interesting.

didnt even understand half of it xD
my math is so bad :p

but this is a cool fact xD

you ejacuate em everyday

Yesterday I noticed that I made some errors
Ill redo it later. Maybe make a php script and put it on the site

I feel so boring now.

Don't feel boring, look at it from the bright site, when you give birth the data transfer is much larger

EDIT:
I fixed it up:

The human body is 60% water so 40% of the mass is pure (dry) cells.
To compensate the mass we take 30% of the cell mass, and that's 3.0*10^-12 kg/cell and then multiply the whole with (10/3)
So (((M*0.4)/ (3.0*10^-12)))*(10/3)
(79.5*0.4)/ 3.0*10^-12 = 3.53*10^13 (33.7% error so we will add this; /67*100=*1.5)
1 cell was 1.4 gigabytes so
(((((M*0.4)/ (3.0*10^-12)))*(10/3))*1.5)*1.4 = amount of gig
gig to exabyte is *9.3*10^-10
(((((M*0.4)/ (3.0*10^-12)))*(10/3))*1.5)*1.4)*(9.3*10^-10) = amount of data in exabytes
In short:
D = M*868

To check this is checked the average numbers and came up with:
((((5+(1/3))*10^13)/79.5)*1.4)*(9.3*10^-10) = 873.46
D = M*873.46

That's 0.5% difference in total, making it a good formula
IF the average weight and amount of human cells is correct.

EDIT: I made a page that calculates your weight and compares it to mp3's, dvd's and blu-ray disks:
http://www.parascientifica.com/humandata.php

If you got a suggestion of a well known format that I should add, please tell me.

Wow. That's a lot of data! Even the comparisons are incomprehensible.

That page you made is really cool.

Yea, I'm thinking of something gigantic that I could use
like 10thousand record stores xD

Thanks

Should I add the calculation, how I got to the formula or keep it as it is?

Add it, the more explanation/detail the better.

True, I need some big thing that takes a lot of space to compare it with tho.
I was looking for worlds largest disk-space but couldn't find it o.o
