Eternal 5D data storage could record the history of humankind

Eternal 5D data storage could record the history of humankind. Press Release. Optoelectronics Research Centre, University of Southampton. February 16, 2016.
     Scientists have developed the recording and retrieval processes of five dimensional (5D) digital data processing with femtosecond lasers that may be capable of  storing digital data for billions of years on nanostructured glass.  "The storage allows unprecedented properties including 360 TB/disc data capacity, thermal stability up to 1,000°C and virtually unlimited lifetime at room temperature (13.8 billion years at 190°C )".  This encoding on ‘Superman memory crystal’ is in five dimensions: the size and orientation in addition to the three dimensional position of these nanostructures.
