About Yottabits
A yottabit (Ybit) = 10²⁴ bits (SI), using the SI prefix 'yotta-' (Y, 10²⁴). All human digital data from the invention of writing through 2023 ≈ 120 ZB ≈ 0.00012 Ybits. A 'bit per atom' computer filling Earth's oceans (≈ 1.5 × 10²⁷ atoms) could conceivably store ≈ 1,000 Ybits. The SI system added 'ronna-' (10²⁷) and 'quetta-' (10³⁰) prefixes in November 2022 to extend beyond yotta-. 1 Ybit = 10²⁴ bits = 125 ZB.
About Nibbles
A nibble is exactly 4 bits = half a byte, representing 2⁴ = 16 values - one hexadecimal digit (0-F). Used in BCD encoding (each decimal digit = 1 nibble; 2 nibbles per byte packs two BCD digits), financial/mainframe packed-decimal formats, and CSS hex colours (#RRGGBB = 2 nibbles per channel). 4-bit processors (Intel 4004, TI TMS1000) processed one nibble per cycle. 1 nibble = 4 bits = 0.5 bytes.
