Approximating the scale of a Post-singularity Galactic Civilization
A likely minimum reversible computing capability for an advanced civilization is 10**29 operations per watt. 10**19 operations per second is a likely upper bound to simulate a human mind. 3*10**47 joules per year for the galaxy. ==> 10**50 simulated human mind equivalents.
