Thank you for that write up.

What about non-chemical life. What I mean by that is something like a giant CPU with traces literally the size of freight trains? I recently finished the first Dark Tower book and it’s got me thinking about scale.

Then you run into speed of light issues. In one nanosecond, that is one 1GHz cycle, light travels only ~30cm.

Hah, good point. The authors of our simulation really put a damper on things, huh?
