Did you know that the maximum number of images your monitor could ever display is the # of colors raised to the power of the # of pixels? We can program a computer to output every possible image but there isnt enough data storage in the universe. If it could compile, every possible image you could imagine would be contained in the output (including all of your baby pictures and everyone you know or could ever know including those that do not exist, like say your imaginary childhood friend)... Additionally, pictures are only a subset of the type of coherent knowledge that is possible for humans to create. That means the human imagination is able to contemplate concepts that can never all be realized within the bounds of the universe as we understand it. Are the laws of physics only a subset of the imagination?
