That's pretty good, but I have an algorithm that compresses data into zero bits.
def compress(data): pass To decompress, you simply generate a random string of random length using a random number generator based on quantum states, with the expectation that you happen to be in one of the possible universes for which this string turns out to be the data you compressed in the first place. Now, according to Leibniz, God (who alone exists by necessity) initially conceived of all possible worlds, and He chose this world out of all others to actualize. Because God is benevolent, he chose the fullest world with the least evil, meaning that we do indeed exist in the Best of All Possible Worlds. In the Best of All Possible worlds, that random string you just generated would be your uncompressed data, right? In fact, it might even be better than the original data. (a "gainy" algorithm?)
