We're reaching the scale of process where quantum effects are starting to rule. I didn't say we wouldn't be able to keep expanding, simply that this current model will run out of steam. You can't continue to get smaller ad infinitum.

There's always something that looks like an insurmountable barrier, but billions of research dollars can work miracles. Intel spent $5B on R&D in 2009.
