Can one use a reversible hash algorithm as a compression function?
As we know any input to SHA-256 will be returned as 64 hex length output. Is it possible to create a hash that can do the same thing as SHA-256 but can be reversed, so if we have the output of 64 ...

SHACAL-2 vs. AES as underlying block cipher for Secure Hash (aka SHA-256)
The hashing scheme SHA-256 (for instance) is based on Merkle-Damgård construction with the underlying compression function based on the block cipher SHACAL-2 configured in Davies Meyer mode. SHACAL-2 ...
