All of us uses internet for suffering on Google, watching movies, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc., but do you know how much internet weight's ?
Let's know,
Internet store information or data in binary (0 or 1) format. Although they seems to be mathematical but embodied and manipulated as voltages in electronic units.
Internet runs on electrons and that's how the information is stored. Though electrons are very small they do have mass.
According to Einstein's formula E=mc². Taking the energy (E) powering the internet and using the this equation we can turn that energy to something that can weigh.
A statistically rough (one sigma) estimate might be 75-100 million servers @ ~350-550 watts each. We can call it 40 billion watts or ~40 GW. Given this information, and the fact that silicon logic runs at approximately 3 volts and a chip runs at a gigahertz.
After calculating it we get entire internet approximately weighs 50 grams.
Do you know that it is same as the weight of a average strawberry.
