Black Holes as Nature’s Ultimate Computers: The Limits of Memory and Speed

We explore how black holes define the ultimate bounds on information—from the Bekenstein bound on memory density to the Margolus–Levitin limit on processing speed. Learn why black holes act as the universe’s fastest scramblers, saturating these limits, and how concepts like the firewall paradox and holography shape what physics can reveal about computation, AI, and the cosmos—including the tantalizing idea of alien technosignatures.
