Atomistic simulation infeasible even for bacteria; mammalian brains cited as complexity benchmark

kaleidosbob argued that pure atomistic/QM simulation is infeasible even for bacteria under optimistic compute growth, and that mammals' 10⁹–10¹¹+ cells with full biochemistry, gene regulation and closed-loop physiology represent complexity far beyond current models.
