One thing that makes me cautiously optimistic on this prospect is considering the light cone that forms around each particle-event and spreads to the universe at precisely c. This implies the spherical region at any given distance from Earth is receiving a very precisely limited and mutually consistent set of photons for given moments on Earth.
Much can be and has been said of the computational capacity of a well optimized Maitryoshka Brain system, but what people tend to forget about is the sensory capacity it would have.
