Description
The Infosphere is a massive biological memory bank created by the Brainspawn to catalogue all the information in the universe. It is twice the size of three ordinary memory banks (i.e., six times the capacity of a standard memory bank). It took one thousand years to construct, although the massive brain that makes up its core seems to have been alive since at least the time of the dinosaurs. Once it completed its task, the universe was to be destroyed so that no new information could be created. However, the Brainspawn's plan was foiled by Fry, who sent the Infosphere into an alternate universe using a quantum interphase bomb (see note below) created by the Nibblonians.

- The Why of Fry (4ACV10)
Note: Although the subtitles identify it as a "quantum interface" bomb, the audio dialogue suggests it may be a "quantum interphase" bomb, which makes slightly more sense. This link seems to confirm the existence of the phrase, though gleaning the date it was used it nearly impossible.
