Cells in the body = information, a lot of information!
It is a suggestion that the human genome store data as much as 150 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 bytes (How Much Information is Stored in the Human Genome_ _ Bitesize Bio – Copy) in your body. The number can be disputed, but let’s go with the most extreme number that has come up.

If you would convert those cells to bytes and then into bibles(everybody knows how thick a bible is about 3 cm) you would get 638 297 872 340 426 000 bibles of text. Pile them up on each other and you would get a distance of 19 148 936 170 212,80 km or 127 659,57 time to sun from the earth tall pile of bibles stacked on top of each other.
If you would transform that number into Solid State Drives you would need 312 500 000 000 drives at at total cost of $ 78 125 000 000 000,00 USD. If you would pile those 0,7 cm tall SSD disk on top of each other you would get 2 187 500,00 km away, only 5.69 times to the moon. You can get a further sense of it at looking at the scale of the universe http://htwins.net/scale2/
This information can be used in the future for diagnostics and medical care.
Now let’s look at atoms in the body = a lot more information.
A 70 kg body would have approximately 7*1027 atoms. That is, 7 followed by 27 zeros:
7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

if you would store that as bytes you would say it is 7 000 yottabytes. So we are going from cell level from 150 Zettabyte to atom level of 7 000 yottabytes.
Now to store information about each atom you would need to store things like spin, temperature, location, movement speed, movement direction “(inside a matrix)” you would need a l lot more storage capacity than given above. When talking about inside a matrix it is like inside a cube with x,y,z dimensions, where the human body is inside.
What we eventually can achieve at the bottom line of this if we can handle all this information?: we can achieve to cure nearly any disease known on the planet if we also could apply new “information” to the “matrix”. Then the dead would live, the crippled would walk and the blind would see. The only thing we need is to be able to understand huge amount of information and to manipulated it to then change the body.
