Universal Limits to Computation

[aphexcoil]

Just came across a fascinating paper by Lawrence Krauss and Glenn Starkman entitled "Universal Limits on Computation."

Basically, it shows that there is a limit to computation in an expanding universe and that consciousness has limits as well.

The computational universe is expanding at the same rate as the minds on the ET forum are.
