I would guess that human beings (a.k.a. Homo sapiens) are
not very far sighted. We witness this in societal reactions
to COVID-19 and global warming. It seems that human

Optical disks - esp M-Disks - can LAST ... but they
are LOW-DENSITY by today's defs by a BIG margin.
It's also not clear if you'd be able to FIND a
