A secret project to ‘back up’ as much of human knowledge as possible in the event of an apocalypse is underway.
The Global Knowledge Vault project, run by the Arch Mission Foundation, is a ‘superman’ memory disk containing a compilation of human history.
The disk is located in Switzerland and holds 60 million microscopic pages of human knowledge, including the content of Wikipedia and the Rosetta language archive.
It is designed to survive a nuclear holocaust.
The foundation plans to install similar depositaries on every continent.
