How Much Does The Internet Weigh?

[sethticlees]

I count 8 e's total. For a book written without the letter "e" you're sure off to a bad start.

[LoLzAsauRuS0]

there's actually two e's

[MrVitoriny]

Thumbs up if you think he should do a book with all this facts

[dobermangrl]

NOOO! u dropped a perfectly good strawberry!

[LoganTehKiller]

The book without e's has 7 e's on the cover, fail!

[ranvirgill39]

@LoganTehKiller 8 not 7  asshole

[Seriously543543]

The internet is very light. But it has VERY high volume, but the internet's volume is not as high as your mom's. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[MuHcK]

I just love your videos and personality! Such a pleasant and intelligent gentleman! Wish u all the best and please keep filming your fun and instructive videos! Oh, and by the way, I'm Russian (:

[coolster01]

this video added weight to the internet

[UnstableCore]

Thats what happens when you measure the grease from your hands on the kindel.

[filler2013]

Actually, "awesome" has an "e" in it.

[HammaneggsAirborne]

Wow, think of how much the internet would weigh in the year 3000!!!

[starkiller4987]

NEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRD. I kid I kid! I didn't know the internet had physical weight. That's cool. Yay. Learning.

[links212]

Holy crap.

[codnanners]

No "e" this means no " the " holy shit so hard

[MULLETMAN235]

i was on omg facts and i saw a pic under the fact and i was like "micheal?..." lol

[PhenTheHuman]

You guys should make a lean back about this

[1998pokemon4]

I love these videos...there are such a mindblow!!!!!

[feralucce]

LMAO... I heard GATSBY... not Gadsby... lmao

[AlextheGuest]

but will it blend?

[543212399939741999]

thumbs up if you tasted strawberry when he ate one

[magictrader999]

my porn would weigh about 20 pounds.



[Cspall135]

There are like 4 e's on the cover WTF

[ozzygp11]

alright how the fuck do you right a whole book without any e's???

[PauleePessimist]

celebrity rumors lol 

[letschat6]

This is so interesting!

[WhatTheBuckWithChuck]

MY MIND... IT HURTS!

[kalpakdhakate93]

So that does mean that youtube is the heaviest website on the planet.

[VisCreed]

@dsnassif Learn new stuff everyday, don't be isolated!

[armitx9]

@dsnassif i do

[hulla0411]

@DJequalizee: in fact there are 8 e's on the cover ;)

[lololpwnedlolol]

The internet changes every millisecond. The number of views on this video, the likes, the dislikes, the comments, it all changes, with MILLIONS of popular videos.

[DUCKY3654]

the calculation of the mass of the stored data on the internet is wrong, the total number of bytes is not just the ones, but also the zeros. if one knew the average ratio of 1s to 0s, then one could calculate the internet's weight accurately.

[bonfire302]

You look like Wheezy Waiter.

[xcelorater]

i just got vsauced on

i just got zombiefied by his knowledge

at the end of this video, i was eating my own poop

at the end of this video, my brains were fried and on the walls

[Bisby219]

He probably doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about... but he makes it seem like he does!

[Tuberomix]

When I searched "How much does the internet weight?" I wanted to know how much it weights in terabytes (or petabytes or whatever), not it's physical weight.

[vistigioful]

I have a feeling the internet weighs A LOT more than 50 grams.

[Wakamakacrate77]

How much does the Internet weight, easy too say. Too fucking heavy

[CharlesOlson711]

One question, at what point does this super grain of sand containing all of the information of the internet, compress into a black hole? or would it do the opposite, and detonate like a warhead? You can't compress pure electrons like that without serious consequences. Also, the electrons only count as information so long as they are relative to their constituent atoms, it would be as pointless as pulling all the ink out of a book. It's no longer information, so it's weight would be irrelevant.

[beanamonster]

@CharlesOlson711 All of the electrons aren't compressed. They're scattered all over the world, from server to server, they go everywhere.

[MrRespect4life]

Soooooo interesting

[PenguinGang1]

@thatguy3256

8 actually

[xTheDeathSaintx]

.....but what about the weight of all the things we need to access the internet..

[imthemasteratbod8]

jesus in a billion years interweb is gonna weigh alot

[MvZiCMaN]

if it doubles every 5 years. how long will it take to weigh 1 LBS? can anybody answer it?

[MrMorrrris]

@MvZiCMaN About 110 years.

[DJequalizee]

that book without e's has an e on the cover

[thatguy3256]

@DJequalizee 5 actually

[kimisizer]

@DJequalizee The novel itself contains no e's, not the cover.

[pinks4men]

@DJequalizee Shut the fuck up.

[SuperflyFTW]

@DJequalizee 4 actually

[yukiibeauty07]

@DJequalizee it has 7 :o

[blargrath5649]

i want the last strawberry

[Snor1axAttacks]

@blargrath5649 I want the strawberry he bit off of.

[xamanto]

@Snor1axAttacks the one he digested already or the one that fell on the floor?

[Snor1axAttacks]

@xamanto The one he digested.

[mmmkmmkuj7]

@blargrath5649 NO I WANT IT

[GOOB3000]

gay

[TheNightcoreMusicz]

@GOOB3000 why?

[GOOB3000]

@TheNightcoreMusicz dunno :)

[jechet10]

@GOOB3000 Statement without reason is often caused by rush and idiocy.

[GOOB3000]

@jechet10 Why are you getting mad. What is the reason behind that?

[MakinaDeMuerte]

Glad there is enough strawberries for your fat ass to just take a bite and let it fall on the floor like a fuck.

[Bubblelishes181]

@MakinaDeMuerte LOL He has great info but he did a dumb fuck move by dropping that strawberry

[Jessetor]

so everything on Google is just .04%

Mind fucking Blown

[tiamta]

why do i watch this right before i go to bed? i will be lying awake for HOURS!

[Oldasiankid]

@ChrisD4335 The cables and PCs and stuff make up the Internet, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about all the content on the world wide web.

[sebrewable]

i wonder sometimes why you look smarter when you're bald?

[BLQBPL]

i can lift the INTERNET ! like a boss

[The4RealMsC]

u are awesome.

[ChrisD4335]

This is like saying I only weigh .000000002 ounces because that's how heavy the electrons that make up my memory's are, the body of the internet are the servers, cables home PC's and everything else that's a part of it. That shit is heavy

[landrowick]

this was interesting 4 years ago.

[wonderstruckTS13]

i was eating a stawberry when i clicked this vid.....scary.

[flyingcircles1]

so someday a cp can fall through the floor or table because of how heavy it could be?

[LinkinFrankie13]

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!

actually who cares he is still fun to watch O.O

[lgrazy]

wowowow are you one of wheezywaiters smart clones ??

[dartboard121]

So Gadsby has no E's, eh?

Look at the eight on the cover.

[JGshow7]

what ever happen to up all night ?!

[Luiman04]

@MistaScribbles What the fuck is going on?!?

[musicjesus95]

5m tera bit=10^12

So how much zeta bit is that? ( zeta 10^21 )

[batmanbros]

Watching this video just made the Internet heavier :3

[TrayCaddyyy]

A hour of video is posted on YouTube every second so the Internet is gaining weight rapidly.

[thefifthlord1]

Of course my numbers aren't cumulative, that is they don't contain the entire history of the net, but rather its current size.

At 10 exabytes, assuming you only need a single electron to store whether or not a bit is on or off(which isn't the case, but would be ideal), that would be 10^19 bytes * 8 = 80^19 bits

which is in essence 80^19 electrons, multiplied by the mass of an electron and you get that the mass of the internet is at least 1313 metric tons. So much for 50 grams eh?

[DubstepWillNeverDie]

@thefifthlord1 O.O

[thefifthlord1]

You're figures are incorrect BTW, as every projection for the size of the internet is grossly incorrect, you cannot look at server power consumption numbers either. I'd say you could fit the whole thing into an exabyte or two, 10 if you count the porn.

[thefifthlord1]

The data itself doesn't weigh a thing, sure you could argue that loading up your kindle(WHILE ITS PLUGGED IN) is actually increasing its weight as some energy(in the form of electromagnetic charge) is now being stored in the device's flash, but downloading books whilst on battery does not cause the kindle to gain any weight.

[zachinnes1]

sopa was just the internets failed diet

[katnico1]

the internet will soon weight nothing. fuck u sopa

[RobynCampbell7]

Learning is fun with you Michael!

[ThePyroNoid]

Internet weighs 50g

After the SOPA Bill takes over. it weighs 10g

[nwdle1]

like the rest of your videos this is aawsome, and by far my favorate channel on youtube, last night i had a dream i was living in world with no gravity. id really like to see a video of you explaining wht would happen or if its even possible to live in a world with no gravity, keep up the good work fellas, this shit is right up my street.

[Shotgunturd]

Internet total: 50 grams

Internet without porn/sex/naked people/etc:

5 grams

[EyalsHair]

@Shotgunturd Wow where did you get this original idea for a comment?! Not from the top rated comment, of course!

[ewinjo]

1000024th view, so close

[Stumpeddeath]

False! theirs an "E" on the cover epic fail gadsby

[loserforcethree]

Why can't calculus be this fun?

[khajiit92]

first weight in grams,

second in ounces >.>

[BattlePie400]

This video needs to be shown on the Discovery Channel. Seriously. They need to hire you.

[Krichery]

i have no fucking idea what he's saying

[XxHawtMessxX]

@Krichery then LISTEN

[lordhelmchen100]

3:40 love letter was the name of the "biggest" virus EVER and it spread off in the? INTERNET!

i think thats funny

[CPMackenzie]

...... I want that strawberry.

[Mattteus]

hey! you just ate 1/3 of the internet! (I guess it's OK as long as the 'arrow in the knee' memes are gone)

[Ibeatyou23]

basically the cool part of this video is Einstein's mass energy equation (e=mc^2 )

[Momanicx]

weight of internet= 50g

weight of internet without porn=10g

[haydh4]

@Momanicx lol fucken classic

[JUMBAC0]

@Momanicx WRONG!!!! the internet consists is 98% porn. therefore the internet without porn is 2g. (using your logic of course)

[Momanicx]

@JUMBAC0

uhm .. 98% of 50g are 49. therefore the internet would weigh 1g without porn. (using common sense and your percentage)

[ppddoogggg]

@Momanicx it would be WAY more accurate with 0.5g ;)

[blargrath5649]

@Momanicx you didn't watch the whole video didja? Weight of entire internet= 0.2millionths of an oz. not 50g

[Momanicx]

@blargrath5649

according to Russell Seitz it is 50 grams.

[ivanjesik]

OK, this is interesting, bcs i've been wondering about this kind of info :-)

and now i'm wondering about information with particles which have no mass :-)

Gadsby didn't have the letter e but if the writer wrote the whole thing,including the front cover,dosn't that mean writing his name, Ernest Vincent Whright,and telling the viewer that there is no letter e, he just used the letter e.

[Qw3rtypop]

@thelightningsword178

It's not fair to get at him for that. He's not responsible for what his parents named him.
