gollark: Since you can do more computation per unit energy at lower temperatures, and as the universe expands and loses usable energy it cools, I think some physicist worked out that you could manage to fit in an infinite amount of computing over infinite time somehow.

gollark: Well, if you get immortal enough, you might be around then.
gollark: The entropy issue is, as far as I know, entirely intractable with current physics knowledge.
