Yes. Algorithms to explicitly evaluate very large numbers (e.g. Graham's Number) would be one example; a computer which could even hold the result of such a calculation would require a great deal more matter than exists in the Universe.

What is algorithm and define its complexity?

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function Algorithms are used for calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning.By complexityAlgorithms can be classified by the amount of time they need to complete compared to their input size. There is a wide variety: some algorithms complete in linear time relative to input size, some do so in an exponential amount of time or even worse, and some never halt. Additionally, some problems may have multiple algorithms of differing complexity, while other problems might have no algorithms or no known efficient algorithms. There are also mappings from some problems to other problems. Owing to this, it was found to be more suitable to classify the problems themselves instead of the algorithms into equivalence classes based on the complexity of the best possible algorithms for them. Burgin (2005, p. 24) uses a generalized definition of algorithms that relaxes the common requirement that the output of the algorithm that computes a function must be determined after a finite number of steps. He defines a super-recursive class of algorithms as "a class of algorithms in which it is possible to compute functions not computable by any Turing machine" (Burgin 2005, p. 107). This is closely related to the study of methods of hypercomputation.veer thakurchandigarh

Why did President George W. Bush build a missile defense shield for the United states?

You seem to referring to the "Star Wars" defense dreamed of by Ronald Reagan. Although money was allocated for research, it was never developed enough to make it practical to implement. Neither Bush nor preceding presidents built a missile defense shield over the US.
