Physical limits on intelligence?
submitted 1 year ago by trident765 from self.TechDystopia
Can intelligence (of machines) grow without bound, or are there physical limits on intelligence? Is there a point where it is physically impossible to get any smarter? I'm thinking of limitations resulting from things like the speed of light.

This question is basically the plot for this super famous and very thought-provoking sci-fi short story... Isaac Asimov - The Last Question. Here is the full text (only 9 pages):

This is one of those things I read a long time ago and it's stuck in my head because it is so profound. It really captures the battle of entropy vs negentropy (disorder vs order) at the end of the universe, and asks in a deep way if intelligence can ever truly understand itself or the universe that contains it.

Physical mechanics is a branch of physics that focuses on the study of motion and the forces that act upon objects. It delves into concepts like Newton's laws of motion, gravitational forces, and the behavior of particles and rigid bodies. This field plays a vital role in understanding and analyzing the movement of various objects, from the microscopic scale to the macroscopic level.
