If you think you're confused now, wrap your head around this:
1 64 bit address space = 18 Quintillion Bytes = 18 Million Petabytes = 18 Billion Libraries of Congress -- directly addressable by one machine (I wouldn't want the electric bill from that machine).

1 Petabyte = 1,000 Terabytes
1 LoC = 10 Terabytes
100 LoC = 1,000 Terabytes
======
100 LoC = 1 Petabyte
