Meanings
- 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.
