I once followed this line of reasoning. "So we expand the computer to simulate everything. Hell, if we were to correctly determine the state of the universe at the big bang and simulate every atom since then we could answer everything about the past, have a perfect image of the present (intelligence dream!), predict the future... We could simply write an algorithm to know where or if intelligent life exists outside of Earth..." Then, after some consideration I realized that the smallest possible computer capable of simulating every particle in real time... was probably reality itself.
