You're assuming that we'll be using the same approaches (e.g. molecular dynamics on classical computers) to do the simulation. We don't know what methods and techniques will be available in the future, so we can't confidently claim that it'll forever be out of reach. I bet there's some room for improvement over the current crude techniques.
- Panoramix 18y agoBut there are still fundamental limits, like the speed of light or the Bekenstein bound that forbid arbitrarily powerful computations.
- jey 18y agoI'm not saying that we'll have arbitrarily powerful computations, but that there's a lot more room for improvement. Like Feynman said, "there's plenty of room at the bottom".
- hugh 18y agoOh, I'm not assuming that. I'm just not-assuming the opposite.
