Correct, the are multiple ways to extend each of the limits, even one based on food, however mathematical limits on complexity exist and are really hard to surpass. On the upside, we're really far from them.
Smart matter is not quite in our grasp.
Once we figured out information-theoretic entropy we got tools to set bottom limits on everything. I'm not entirely sure when, but Kolmogorov was quite some time ago.
The math is in good company of Shannon and Fischer.
Remember that reducing costs by not doing something has risks. Existential risks in fact.
(E.g. reliance on a single source of energy without fallback.)
- cinquemb 7y agoKolmogorov was about 90 years ago. Shannon, similar. Neither of their accomplishments will limit future accomplishments and understanding (except those bound slavishly to such frameworks [as good as they may be today in certain applications]) >Existential risks in fact. (E.g. reliance on a single source of energy without fallback.) Existential risks for oil companies investors or CSP investors?
- fallingfrog 7y agoNow, not to be rude but if you think we are going to break the laws of thermodynamics or other physics then you literally believe in supernatural forces. As in magic.
- cinquemb 7y agoIf you think meta materials violate laws of thermodynamics, impossible to exist "naturally" in the universe and our understanding of the physical laws that govern the universe are static throughout time, then I have a bridge to sell you.
