James Gleick Quote
From this point of view, the laws of science represent data compression in action. A theoretical physicist acts like a very clever coding algorithm. The laws of science that have been discovered can be viewed as summaries of large amounts of empirical data about the universe, wrote Solomonoff. In the present context, each such law can be transformed into a method of compactly coding the empirical data that gave rise to that law. A good scientific theory is economical. This was yet another way of saying so.
