Human genome stored inside near-indestructible '5D memory crystal' that could survive to the end of the universe

Scientists at the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre have stored the human genome in a 5D memory crystal, which may last billions of years.
The crystal could serve as a blueprint to potentially restore humanity from extinction in the distant future.
This nearly indestructible crystal can withstand extreme temperatures, immense pressure, and cosmic radiation, ensuring its durability for long journeys through space.
