/sci/entist here, I'm trying to make an ultra resilient time capsule and need your help.
What I intend to put into it is the entire english, french, chinese, japanese and russian dictionaries (with pronounciation if possible), about 500 textbooks, 25GB-ish of scientific papers, and all of the patents filed in the past half century, and the entirety of wikipedia. It's intended to survive in a dark, dry box for up to 500 years.
My question is: What's the most resilient method of storing digital data that's available to me? I was planning on using two Spinpoint F3 1TB drives (with the same stuff on) but if there's a risk of magnetically stored data being degraded I'd definitely like to use something physical also.
Also, suggestions on what else I should stick in there. So far I'm thinking two or three of the $25 ARM system-on-a-chips someone posted here, along with some kind of basic OS that can decompress files.
