I'd be careful about statements about 'limitations of physics'. Yes, there are actual physical limitations, but we frequently have beliefs about the limitations

  Like what? This is a wriggling statement without making any claim, stuff like thermodynamics, speed of light etc. is so fundamental to how we build machines (that work) that most of the limitations we accept as limitations are highly unlikely to be wrong. Fundamental skepticism is nice in a thought experiment, but what value are you trying to add with such a vague statement?

  to strengthen your argument here an example where a beliefed limitation was circumvented (and resulted in a nobel prize): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STED_microscopy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STED_microscopy and the Abbe limit i suppose parent was downvoted bc some thought he was questioning the "hard" laws of physics. but perhaps he could correct this by traveling back in time and changing his wording ;-)
