By this back of the J'envelope calculation we will probably never address more than 2x ^ 266 bytes of memory. I am assuming we can stuff a byte into a single baryon. Various estimates of the total number of baryons in the observable universe is around 10x ^ 80.
_1 x: (2x ^ 265 + i. 5) % 10x ^ 80 0.592855 1.18571 2.37142 4.74284 9.48569 266 yields a ratio close to 1. If it turns out that dark matter can be used for computer storage this will be off.
