Comment Re:So people really have this much time and money? (Score 4, Insightful) 377

Here in southern Germany you still have to test mushrooms and wild boar for radioactivity because of the Chernobyl accident 1986. It's mostly due to Cs137 which has a half life of ~ 30 years. I remember having to stay indoors for days as a child (i was 5 at that time) because of that accident. The linear distance to Chernobyl is about 1400 km.

I would call that very much polluting.

Depends on storage media. (Now, this wasn't really too hard to figure out, wasn't it?)

But as i can see that you're completely lost here and don't have the faintest idea how to do this simple arithmetic task for yourself - i will tell you how it would work with SDXC memory cards as an example.

1 SDXC memory card has a volume of 32mm x 24mm x 2.1 mm = 32e-3m x 24e-3m x 2.1e-3m = 1.6128e-6 m^3
So, in 1 cubic meter (m^3) fit 1m^3/(1.6128e-6m^3/1card) = 6.2e5 card(s)
SDXC cards come in various capacities: 64GB to 2048GB
So 1 cubic meter would hold from
6.2e5card x 64GB/1card =~ 3.97e7GB
up to
6.25e5card x 2048GB/1card =~ 1.27e9GB

What can we learn from this result?
Since it spans 2 orders of magnitude, measuring a spacial volume with this unit of measurement isn't advisable.
