This topic is lockedthis is impossible for men, but obviously isn't impossibloe for Nature as they exist in teh first place.
Machine Intelligence is zooming ahead and in teh 2020's by trend graphs, we shoud have enough skill to manipulate any amount of data required
including doing simulations of the whole universe-
Quantum computers need to get their errors reduced and this is happening and expected to be efficient by 2022 (ibm)
Simulations of major parts of earth's history shoud be possible with them.
(Super-recursive algorithms may out-perform quantum computers)
The power of quantum computers
"It can be very difficult to take a large number and find all its prime factors. This integer factorization problem is believed to be difficult for an ordinary computer. A quantum computer could solve this problem very quickly. If a number has n bits (is n digits long when written in the binary numeral system), then a quantum computer with just over 2n qubits can find its factors. It can also solve a related problem called the discrete log problem. This ability would allow a quantum computer to break many of the cryptographic systems in use today. In particular, most of the popular public key ciphers could be quickly broken, including forms of RSA, ElGamal and Diffie-Hellman. These are used to protect secure Web pages, encrypted email, and many other types of data. Breaking these would be significant. The only way to make an algorithm like RSA secure would be to make the key size larger than the largest quantum computer that can be built. It seems likely that it will always be possible to build classical computers that have more bits than the number of qubits in the largest quantum computer. If that's true, then algorithms like RSA could be made secure.
If a quantum computer were based on the protons and neutrons in a molecule, it might be too small to see, but could factor integers with many thousands of bits. A classical computer running known algorithms could also factor those integers. But to do it before the sun burns out, it would have to be larger than the known universe. That would be somewhat inconvenient to build.
Perhaps not as surprisingly, quantum computers could also be useful for running simulations of quantum mechanics. The speedup could be just as large as for factoring. This could be of great practical benefit to many physicists.
This dramatic advantage of quantum computers is currently known to exist for only those three problems: factoring, discrete log, and quantum physics simulations. However, there is no proof that the advantage is real: an equally fast classical algorithm may still be discovered (though this is considered unlikely). There is one other problem where quantum computers have a smaller, though significant (quadratic) advantage. It is quantum database search, and can be solved by Grover's algorithm. In this case the advantage is provable. This establishes beyond doubt that (ideal) quantum computers are superior to classical computers."

So in the physcis that we know, there are TWO physics sets.
Classical and Quantum
Quantum Archaeology accommodates BOTH.
I suspect there will be a causal underneath to quantum realities and we're loking at complexity on a massive scale, but I dont know.
It doesn't matter in the resurrection of the dead since we'll use classical physics down to 100 nanometres then quantum phsycis in the Planck scale
But its maths (computation is mechanical maths) all the way.
The physics need systhesiing: (the're in conflict) and obviously large things reduce to smal things, and vice versa.
