I'm wondering if there really is a googol of anything in the world. A living animal has 600YB of information in its DNA, and there's a lot of people and animals in the world. If you don't think so just answer the question.

yotta = 10^24
googol = 10^100
10^100/10^24 =
10^76 yottabytes are in a googolbyte.
Assuming there are 2 trillion people and animals on the Earth (that's just a guess), then:
2 trillion = 2*10^12
600YB*(2*10^12) = 1.2*10^15YB
10^76/(1.2*10^15)=
8.33333*10^60
Based on the assumption that there are 2 trillion people and animals on Earth, it would take
8.33333*10^60 Earths of people and animals to form 1 googolbyte of data.

I seriously doubt if anything with that much information exists.
The 1000 can be replaced with 1024 and still be correct using the other acceptable standards.
· 1 Bit = Binary Digit
· 8 Bits = 1 Byte
· 1000 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
· 1000 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
· 1000 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
· 1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
· 1000 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
· 1000 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte -
· 1000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
· 1000 Zettabyte = 1 Yottabyte
· 1000 Yottabyte = 1 Brontobyte
