Can you figure out something (anything!) without compressing the whole data context? I can't imagine a situation like that.

Newton compressed the data we had about the Solar system, quite a bit. Einstein add some compression when explained the Mercury's orbit. The theory always compresses the data we previously have.

Killing the God-life-creator by Darwin reduced the necessity for a large number of bits, one needed to explain the God's work.

You must compress the earthquake data to predict the next one.

And so on, and so on. I can't find a counter example.

Juergen Schmidhuber just ought to be right.
