Criticizing a 2002 estimate of 46,000,000,000,000,000,000.0000000000000000000000 bits, linguist and University of Pennsylvania professor Mark Liberman asserted that it would actually require 399,999,999,999,999,966,445,568.00000000000000000000000000 bits to house a recording of all speech in human history, even at a relatively low level of quality. For the purposes of his calculations, Liberman estimated the total duration of such a project to include 416,390,367 years of continuous audio.
