Eric, > Yup - not exactly Moore's law - since the upper end is fixed no matter what material we use.

Well ... even Moore's Law has an upper limit, i.e. the actual size of a silicon atom.

The only thing here is that the limit is so high, we got decades of progress out of Moore's Law.

Going back to energy, there is already a theory out there with a limit so high humans aren't going to get near it in the next few centuries.

And that is Einstein's theory of relativity: E=mc2.
