- Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as speed of light, say physicists
- A pair of physicists have shown that if processors continue to accelerate in accordance to Moore's Law, we'll hit the wall of faster processing in roughly 75 years. The curtain will eventually come down for silicon in today's manufacturing methods once engineers can no longer further shrink...
