Hello everyone, I would like to ask you an important problem to ask you! does data have weight Thank you kindly inform me please.
Computer data is stored in some physical medium. For example, hard drives store data on magnetic platters, which look like small record platters. The platters are made out of glass or ceramic, and they are coated with a very thin layer of magnetic material. The data (1's and 0's) are stored in the magnetic material by changing the direction of the magnetization in the magnetic material.
So, it's not as though the "1" or the "0" has weight of it's own; it's just a change in the magnetization of the medium on the platter.
The platter itself, and the magnetic material in which the charge is stored, have weight.
