On: 100% Compression Using Pi

[cschmidt]

That reminds me of the ending of the novel/movie "Contact" by Carl Sagan. When calculating pi in base 11, there was an implausibly long run of 0's and 1's, which made a pretty picture when you plotted it in two dimensions. So if you entered that picture as your file, the file system would make a major discovery :-).

Someone actually wrote a paper on the properties of these numbers: http://arxiv.org/abs/1209.2348

This is the second time in a week I'm mentioning Carl Sagan in a comment. I'll stop doing that now.

You can never mention Carl Sagan too much, only too little.

Try watching a Cosmos marathon. The hyperbolic introductions are inspiring until you watch them back to back.
