In addition, if too much of a planet-scale computer’s mass is concentrated in one place, “it could implode under its own weight,” says Anders Sandberg , a senior research fellow at the University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute. Quantum simulation of ecosystems is another, says Seth Lloyd , a quantum physicist at MIT.
