Because of this, Lloyd thinks it could be possible to use a black hole
as the ultimate computer. At this black hole limit, it turns out that
the time required to communicate around the hole is exactly the same as
the time needed to flip each bit. "In other words, the black-hole
computer is the ultimate serial computer," says Lloyd. He believes that
this apparent coincidence hints at another deep link between physics and
information.
