A simple conjecture on the technology of infinite space

Read a novel A few days ago, there are some imagination about time and space; see the story inside I think, now the world's data is getting bigger, then there is no one in the limited volume storage media to achieve unlimited storage data! To this end I also deliberately to check the information on the Internet. There are some assumptions about infinite space on the internet, but there is little or no information about the number of data stored. So I made a few guesses, the first step is how to further expand the storage on the basis of limited storage capacity: (a purely personal opinion)

To achieve unlimited data storage, the first step is to find the right storage medium; I don't know much about physics, so I'm going to use the world's most common disk as media.

The first step of the media found, then to the second step, "How to save" problem. Typically, they are stored in binary form on the disk, so the storage capacity must be the same in the case of disk. How to expand storage capacity?

First: Inventing a new, more efficient storage medium

The second type: find an effective algorithm to compress the information volume

For the first, it is difficult to conquer, need a lot of experimental materials, but once there is progress, it will be a revolutionary progress, modern science and technology, Human also invested a lot of energy. The second kind: find an effective algorithm to compress the information volume. This method is very difficult to solve the problem of infinite storage, but it is more purposeful than the first kind of blind search. The second is an algorithmic math problem, or a language problem, which is based on no loss of information, but it is not so easy to solve; like in primary and secondary schools, the teacher asked us to summarize an article in a sentence, so through this sentence summed up, although the subject of the matter probably we can know, But other information that accurately describes the transaction is lost, which is like the loss of precision in a computer. But the two examples have one thing in common: they are all conversions between the same languages. So is it possible to solve the problem of compressing volume of information if we can transform the information between different languages?

The answer is, of course: negative. Like the information conversion between Chinese and English, many Chinese meanings cannot be expressed in English at all. In the expression of English in Chinese, the volume of information is also increased. So I think if you want to achieve the volume of information compression, then must find such a language; First: There is a medium to efficiently store. Second: In the realization of information conversion, the volume compression accuracy is not lost.

I repeated to read the above content, feeling did not express my meaning, and feel as if nothing said, very failure, but no matter what, it is time for themselves to change. I hope the next time to seize the feeling write better!
