Suppose we redefine wealth to be the number of electrons you own.
Further suppose you own one electron. At 5% growth a year in that means that the number of electrons you own will double every 14 years or so.
The total number of electrons in the universe is on the order of 10^80, lg(10^80) = 266.
So in about 4,000 you will own every electron in the universe and need to find another universe to keep this rate of growth going for another 14 years.
