virtual speed-up

Name: Anonymous 2012-08-02 8:20

is there a way to make a virtual CPU that is faster than the CPU it runs on, or otherwise speed up indefinitely? what i want to be able to do is bruteforce huge search spaces in seconds.
inb4 there is no way. I know there is a way. I know a way can be made. i know a way will be made.

This is different because there's a theoretical limit on how much you can compress, but not for speed. Or is there? If there is, I'd be grateful to have an explanation.
And don't say the speed of light is the limit, because you don't need to be faster than light to predict something algorithmically. Man invented multiplication to predict iterated addition, exponentials to predict iterated multiplication and tetrationals to predict iterated exponentials. There's nothing that says man won't find a meta-algorithm for evolution itself. If you say things like heat or entropy become a problem, man could find an algorithm for optimizing the heat and entropy of a system.

That other guy claims space is not continuous, which a quite outrageous claim because space is connected to time, space can change and so can time. No one really understands how it works, so it is way too early to assume something won't work just because it sounds silly. The correct way is to try it, and when it fails, find the source of the problem and destroy it.

No one really understands how it works,
This is a quite outrageous claim, because you either don't know that or are lying.
