There's definitely value in providing this functionality for photographs taken in the present.

But I think the real value -- and this is definitely in Google's favor -- is providing this functionality for photos you have taken in the past.

I have probably 30K+ photos in Google Photos that capture moments from the past 15 years. There are quite a lot of them where I've taken multiple shots of the same scene in quick succession, and it would be fairly straightforward for Google to detect such groupings and apply the technique to produce synthesized pictures that are better than the originals. It already does something similar for photo collages and "best in a series of rapid shots." They surface without my having to do anything.

Every picture is a picture from the past though

Every state machine is bound to cycle at some point, even if it has the size of the universe.

This is not true, its very trivial to design a state machine that won't cycle.

Sorry, forgot to add that it should be reversible, like the laws of physics.

I would really like to see the proof that it's impossible to design a reversible state machine that won't cycle. But even if you do prove that, you would also have to prove that if the laws of physics are reversible that the universe is reversible.

The current best theory and understanding of the evolution of the universe is that it will reach maximum entropy (heat death). There is no cycling when this happens. Can you cite what theory or new discovery you have come across that somehow challenges the heat death hypothesis?
