we will turn nearly immortal within the next 50-100 years. from then on

years will become days
decades will become weeks
centuries will become months
millennia will become years

and we will sail to the stars like Columbus did from Europe to the Americas!

Embrace the great future that awaits mankind! We will conquer the Galaxy!

There is an upper limit on computational power. An information processor can never process more information in real time than the total information that comprises the processor itself. That is to say, the most efficient 100% accurate (full detail) simulation of an object is always the object itself.

Additionally, the light speed limit puts a cap on how large a processor can be before it starts to experience significant processor lag.
