“Less violence
More orgasms”
simple solutions people, simple solutions.
The question seems a bit absurd, since we don’t think of the internet as a physical entity. However, we know that the information that comprises the internet is stored as electrons, and Einstein told us that electrons have mass. Therefore, neglecting the servers that the internet is stored on, the internet has a specific mass. A random email, say, is roughly 50kb, and that amounts to about 8 billion electrons. That may sound like a lot, but that amounts to only two ten thousandths of a quadrillionth of an ounce.
If an email is that light, how much does the whole shebang weigh? As you might suspect, scientists disagree over the best way to calculate the mass. Richard Seitz, on his blog Adamant, claims that the web is about 2 ounces - or roughly the mass of a plump strawberry. Others, however, say his estimate is too high; the true value may be much smaller, closer to the mass of a grain of salt!
That just goes to show how a massive amount of energy need not weigh very much. And that, fellow short people, is why no one is allowed to make fun of us again, according to science!

Eye on Culture: New Year’s at the Opera
This week’s Goings On About Town section opens with Sylvia Plachy’s photograph of Metropolitan Opera stars celebrating the new year. “They stepped out of the shadows one by one: Marina Poplavskaya floated in as Marguerite, from ‘Faust’; Liping Zhang lit up the room in a white kimono as Madama Butterfly,” Plachy said. “Lawrence Brownlee was in uniform as Tonio, from ‘La Fille du Régimen,’ and Joyce DiDonato was dressed in golden silk and feathers as Sycorax from ‘The Enchanted Island.’ A bottle of champagne appeared; even Hansel and Gretel (Kate Lindsey and Aleksandra Kurzak) had some. We caught the last rays of the sun, danced, rolled on the floor.” For more selection of Plachy’s photographs from that afternoon: http://nyr.kr/vajqfn
Fabulous.
