is it possible to get the physics calculations to go through the GPU instead if the processor?

I don't think so, but I think they're working on it.

They are working on it.
Emil said a while back how they managed to pull off a million water particles on a Gpu.

Nope. It's still in development. It could be in the next update, it could be a year from now.

The whole idea in general is experimental. This may be future of computing nut right now, everyone is still working out the mechanics behind it.
