Information Processing Bound

Prof. Hsu from the University of Oregon has recently made public a fundamental result.

This result states the deep connection between two foundational concepts of physics; Information and Size.

The rate of Information processing cannot be bigger than the size of the device times 10⁸⁵.

This is a tremendously big number, but it is not infinite.

Any device, no matter how big, cannot perform more than a certain number of computer operations per second. According to Hsu's bound, the mind of the Universe only has performed 10¹⁰⁰ operations so far.
