I assume there is a word for it, but what happens when we hit the hard
limit of how fast particles or whatever can move? Whats that called?
Like absolute zero in regard to heat. you could aggregate, but that
limit would still bottleneck. Will we have to start installing flux
capacitors ad do our processing in the past? We could kick off a
computation today and have the calculations take place in the infinity
of the past, then dinosaurs could do VR shit.
It would all get fubar though cause some dick would calculate pi and
tie up the machine, eventually kicking off some fatal system error,
next think you know time has a kernel panic and we are all stuck in
some crummy timeline loop

If no one of merit is breaking encryption, the technology will
stagnate and undiscovered vulnerabilties would be exploited by
malicious actors.

The goal for governments to have this computer is to destroy
encryption. That's why China just announced they are spending $10B
to build one. The goal of IBM is to sell the patent rights. They
need a big win and this may be it.
