"If you wanted to create a floppy disk from scratch, you'd first have to create the universe." Well, Carl Sagan said that about apple pie, but it basically holds true no matter what you want to create from scratch. Turns out trying to create new floppy disks is also not a small endeavor. This is the second person seriously trying afaik so far, and he's coming pretty close already. I especially like the chapter called "chasing microns". This is really something special, so go watch it ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ’พ

@Datassette_User but his and Ninaโ€˜s experiments show that it is hard. And that it is possible. The surface application and bonding needs more refinement though. :)
@root42 Yes. We might see someone succeed one of these days, maybe. Fingers crossed ๐Ÿ˜Ž
