Wow, you too, I came across this while meditating at 22. But I was thinking about how there can't be a new color of light. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Museum_algorithm

Other implications:

1. Knowledge is finite(a big number but finite, only 10^100 atoms in the universe so even if your screen was big as the universe there is only so much it could show)

2. Solving a problem can be interpreted as a search through linear space of all possible permutation. So, lets say that the drug to cure cancer could be in the form of an equation, it would show up on the screen eventually.

3. Oh, if there is a God, his pic will eventually come up on your computer.
