Universe Does Only Turing Computation Not Hypercomputation
A key prediction of the physics project is that what can be done in our universe is just computation achievable by a Turing machine and not hyper-computation; even if something infinitely more powerful than a Turing machine existed, it would be hidden behind a cosmological event horizon and could never be observed or interacted with.

“the claim of these models is even if it exists, it will be hidden by behind a cosmological event horizon from us. We will never be able to observe it”
