This is nothing. Every year or so some bright group of geeks gets millions in funding for tech to produce compression ratios that are mathematically impossible.

These enterprises usually fold shortly after scheduling a demonstration of their awesome world-changing ubertech.

You don't have to be a genius to work in venture capital.
n*kBolt*Te = B**2/(2*mu0) and B^.25 loss scaling? Or not so much? Hopefully we'll know soon...

TD,

Maybe what we need to do is to design an information generator. You send it a string of ones and zeros and for each bit the chance of getting the opposite bit is exactly 50%.

We know that the maximum information is represented by the most unexpected stream so the longer the stream you feed in the more information you get out.

I think gussied up in the proper language with lots of math, some mention of Shannon and Nyquist along with Ziegler and Nichols plus an Einstein and a Feynman and we could rake in millions.

I think one simply with random technical terms in, extracted from the most recent publications, and a few grammatical rules. Kinda "recycling" at its best. Could take a few random plots from periodicals as well, reverse them so no-one notices very easily (like that chap a while back did, and got caught) and add some random axes. I am sure such things have already been invented, and are used to generate proposals for venture capitalists. It surely seems that way.

Yep. Someone got funded and/or published that way by some fairly big mainstream group, literally. I think the text generator is still on the net somewhere.
