Universe is tiny compared to mathematics and software, even simply RSA keys are already 2048bit.
Lots of problems suffer from 'combinatorial explosion' [1].
I recently learned about the Archimedes's cattle problem, the solution is of order 10^206544 [2]

10^206544 would still be less than 8 kB. You could store it on an Atari cartridge!
