In general, no you can't. That's a fact and I encourage you to do some research if you don't understand why. It's for the same reason that there are strings of data which cannot be compressed by any form of data compression.
- idm 10y agoLuckily, it does not appear that reality is uniformly distributed. Instead, we've found that quite a few phenomena can be modelled using one statistical distribution or another. In other words, reality is quite regular, which makes it unlike high-entropy strings that are difficult to compress. In fact, reality has been repeatedly shown to compress well: images, audio, and language all exhibit statistical regularities that support compression. Throughout nature, fractal structures manifest regular patterns. All of this compresses well.
