There are some excellent arguments  that Moores law won't hold forever
due to  limitations imposed by the  laws of physics.   There are other
speculations that say science either finds ways around these limits or
takes advantage of other physical laws (such as quantum computing.)

It doesn't seem to me that brute force alpha/beta global searching HAS
to be  the only way,  but it is  a definite possibility if  Moores law
finds a way to keep working for a few more decades.
