> could not calculate an arbitrarily deep zoom that required 10^81 bits of precision. Right?
I’m here to nitpick.
Number of bits is not strictly 1:1 to number of particles. I would propose to use distances between particles to encode information.

EDIT: ... and of course the point isn't that it's 1:1 wrt. bits and atoms, but I think the point was that there is obviously some maximum information density -- too much information in "one place" leads to a black hole.
