About Zebibits
A zebibit (Zibit) = 2⁷⁰ bits ≈ 1.18 × 10²¹ bits (IEC 80000-13). Total world manufactured digital storage in 2023 (≈ 10,000 EB ≈ 80,000 Ebit) is ≈ 67,000× smaller than 1 Zibit. A 70-bit byte address space would address 2⁷⁰ bytes = 128 ZiB of memory - far beyond any foreseeable architecture. At projected HDD areal density (10¹² bits/cm²), 1 Zibit would require ≈ 10⁹ cm² ≈ the area of Iceland. 1 Zibit = 2⁷⁰ bits = 128 EiB.
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.
