I don't see why physics limits all technological progress.
For example, someone could write improved software, and that would have
nothing to do with physical limitations.  Engineering improvements can also
be made within current knowledge of physics.  Similar propositions apply to
biological knowledge.  New genetic combinations can be invented within the
current knowledge of basic biology.  Generally, it seems to me that
applications of a science can advance even if the science does not.
