What are the scientific inspirations for Steins;Gate?


You know how they mention the LHC and about how it could create mini black
holes and stuff like the world-line ideas

Also how the 36-bytes limit works for a D-mail and the theories behind the
time-leap machine. Where do you think they got that from?




The most unrealistic part of the time-leap machine is that they had to
decompress that 36-byte message and put it back to one's head. And they just
used a cellphone for that.

Regarding to compressing a huge amount of data to a 36-byte (288-bit) message
- yes, it's totally possible. However there should be a decompressor which
would also use a huge amount of data.

Using a black hole for "compression"? It's a joke. Actual compression doesn't
work like this. It's all about making tables or "dictionaries". Here's a
simple algorithm which can compress any amount of data to a 1-byte message
(sometimes it can not):

Compressor: replace "apple" with "1", "orange" with "2", anything else with
"3:anything else".  
Decompressor: replace "1" with "apple", "2" with "orange", message like
"3:anything else" with anything else.

See? It can compress 5-byte and 6-byte messages to a 1-byte message!
