Last night i couldn't sleep and i thought about programming... I got an idea about a program which couldn't be done today, but maybe in many many years... So here is my thought experiment: A computer creates a database with picture files. Those pictures contains every byte combination you could do in a simple 24 bit image. Those images have a high resolution like 10 MegaPixels or something like that. Now you can search on this database with any input image and it will find all fitting images. You can also say that you want a picture with this thing, those persons and so on. You can find every possible image which could be created. Now my question: Should we create such a program in future? And if we do, which worth will any picture and film get?

9.106583767*10^(7.2247198*10^7), that's a 9 with 27 million zeros. There are, at low guesses, only 4*10^79 hydrogen atoms in the observable universe. a 4 with 79 zeroes. You'd need 200.000.000% more matter if you even were able to write every bit on an atom. Putting it in perspective is fun . I do wonder where I made a mistake.

such technology exist, try google googles on android, take a photo of a book cover/car/logo and get prices/wikipedia entries/google searches.

I don't get it. You only have all pictures with a 10mp resolution, not all possible pictures. Ohh... and what about different color formats (RGB, CYMK) (Additive, Subtractive)?

Well, no, not really. All pictures are created via bruteforce and should be aligned like this in the databas (eg. 00...00 to FF..FF).
So you can now go ahead and tell the database for what you are looking, eg. how your filmstar looks. And then describe more of the picture, eg. the tentacel monster that rapes her and the spaceship in the background.
Then you let the database run and output all images (you can add a offset to the search index as images following next to each other would look pretty similiar).
