    That goes back to Tipler.

    Tipler went further though, he argued that if the universe ends in a big crunch there's a way around the Landauer limit that allows for infinite computation in finite time - the universe would, in a sense, never have to end.

    But since then it looks like dark energy means never ending expansion. Doh.
