> many physicists think the ultimate information limit grows like the 2/3 power of volume, instead of linearly
I may have misunderstood and I'm clearly not up to speed on the literature, but even at an intuitive level, wouldn't this violate other principles?
If this is how information entropy scaled, either we could "work around" it by having more but smaller storage entities adding to the same volume, which violates this theory directly because then when would it ever actually apply; or it somehow enforces the limit over any given volume regardless, and therefore the entire universe's volume (which isn't even finite?) somehow sets and tracks a global limit because anything smaller would be a workaround. Neither makes sense to me.
Now if we're saying that the simulation running our universe has limitations that make this true in practice in some sense that we can measure but can't work around, I will need an explanation as to why we're not totally freaking out right now. There's navel gazing philosophy and then there's shit like this which could mean we discover a wrongwarp to the end credits within this century.
