Go up one level in this thread
So is it possible to store the results for 2^157 positions? For win/lose/draw we need 1.58 bits per position. Assuming we need 6000 Daltons per bit for storage and a read/write mechanism (the weight of about 500 carbon atoms), or 10^20 bits per gram, I come up with a little less that half the mass of Mars. This might be theoretically doable sometime in the future, but no one would ever bother doing it. I'm ignoring how long it would take to actually calculate the proper values and store them, but you might have to hurry to get it done before the Sun becomes a red giant.
