"Bremermann's limit" meaning in All languages combined

See Bremermann's limit on Wiktionary

Proper name [English]

Etymology: Named after Hans-Joachim Bremermann (1926–1996), German-American mathematician and biophysicist. Head templates: {{en-proper noun}} Bremermann's limit
  1. The maximum computational speed of a self-contained system in the material universe, derived from Einstein's mass-energy equivalency and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: it is approximately 1.36 × 10⁵⁰ bits per second per kilogram. This value is important in designing cryptographic algorithms that can never be cracked by brute force. Wikipedia link: Bremermann's limit, Hans-Joachim Bremermann
