"The position of each particle is a point in R^3 so the position of all particles is R^(310^80)."

There's a theory that says the the maximum information content of a region of space is proportional to its surface area*. (Honest!) This result is related to black hole physics: information has to be represented by mass and/or energy, and thus curves the space-time continuum according to general relativity. Try to put too much information in a region of space and it gets cloaked by an event horizon.
