You design a machine that can scan the location of every atom in Andrew’s body and build an exact replica, atom by atom. Let’s ignore for a minute why you might want to do that. You wish to specify the location of each atom to within 1.0 × 10^–11 m.
In the machine, Andrew stands inside a box with dimensions 2.0 m × 0.5 m × 0.5 m. How many bits of information would be required to specify the location of a single atom in this box using (x, y, z) coordinates, to within 1.0 × 10^–11 m?
Any ideas on how to solve this?! Any hints would be helpful.
