Quantum computing and trading

The question is: does there come a point of diminishing returns...of no further increase in returns; with respect to throwing more computers at the problem? No amount of computing can help you beat me in a game of tic tac toe. No amount of computing can help you forecast true randomness. Same with traveling faster than light. There are hard limits in life. How beneficial would it be if we calculated PI to a zillion more decimal places by throwing more computers, or quantum computers, at the problem? We sent a man to the moon with very little computing power. Now, with all the computing power we have, shouldn't we be able to send a man anywhere in the solar system? No. Many things, including space travel and trading, involve a lot more than computing power. Just one opinion.
