The universe isn't infinite. If that'd be the case, there'd be infinite matter, and therefore infinite gravity, and we'd all be reduced to black hole singularities :-)

In that case, I guess it's impossible for CPU to be the limiting factory in this universe. ;-)

(And, technically, there is still debate about whether the universe is infinite or not. And, our universe may yet reduce to a singularity. Just because it hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. The universe is tricky like that.)

No.

[Matter could still be finite in an infinite universe. And even with infinite matter flying around - gravity gets weaker with distance.]
