A newly proposed cosmic speed limit could limit the growth rate of everything in the universe. Its existence is based on Alan Turing’s pioneering work in theoretical computer science, which opens up the intriguing possibility that the structure of the universe is fundamentally related to the nature of computation.
The limits of the universe are not a new idea. When Albert Einstein studied the relationship between space and time, he showed as part of his special theory of relativity that nothing in the universe exceeds the speed of light. Now, Toby Ord…
