Its existence follows from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/people\/alan-turing\/\">Alan Turing\u2019s pioneering work on theoretical computer science<\/a>, which opens the intriguing possibility that the structure of the universe is fundamentally linked to the nature of computation.<\/p>\n<p>Cosmic limits aren\u2019t a new idea. While studying the relationship between space and time, Albert Einstein showed that nothing in the universe can exceed the speed of light, as part of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscientist.com\/definition\/special-relativity\/\">special theory of relativity<\/a>.
