Hank's talking just the text of just the English, which is nowhere near 24TB by any count. Not sure where he got that number from actually.

I actually think it likely is "roughly" correct, I'm looking it up now, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia we said it was 10 Trillion in 2013 and we've grown quite a lot since then.

I think it would be worth cross checking wth analytics if 24 trillion bytes is correct. It sounds a lot to me.

Hello everyone,

YouTube personalities, the "Vlogbrothers", have a video of how one could encode and decode all of English Wikipedia onto a QR code. It's fantastic!


t: Could you get all of English Wikipedia by scanning one QR code? Vlogbro @johngreen finds out. 

@hankgreen :)
 

t: How large would a QR code need to be to scan all 24 trillion bytes of English Wikipedia?

I like this, needs a "the" before "English" though.
 

t: Vlogbrother @johngreen does the math of how to fit English Wikipedia – on a QR code? 
 
Again, @hankgreen :)
 

F/G: How big would the QR code need to be to fit all 24 trillion bytes of English Wikipedia? We'd have to put it on the moon.

Just leave this as a question I think.
 



F/G: Vlogbrother John Green tackles the math and physics of encoding and decoding Wikipedia ...onto a QR code.

I feel like it would be good to make light of the size of the QR code. Something like "You'd need 27 square kilometers to print a QR code of Wikipedia" or something more engaging!


F/G: The QR code for all of English Wikipedia is so large it would have to be placed on the moon. 

I like this!!
 

Thanks for reviewing!
