We prove that there exist finite strings with very low Kolmogorov complexity that have very high time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity. Such strings are compressible but time-bounded incompressible. For every total recursive time bound t, a constant fraction of all compressible strings is t-bounded incompressible.
