    It’s an interesting question, though. How far CAN you compress? At some point you’ve extracted every information contained and increased the density to a maximum amount - but what is that density?

      I think by the time we reach some future extreme of data density, it will be in a method of storage beyond our current understanding. It will be measured in coordinates or atoms or fractions of a dimension that we nullify.
