How time travel could work: Scientists have uncovered a way to send messages into the past
Time machines may seem better suited to science fiction than the physics lab, but experts say this futuristic technology could become a reality.
Researchers have revealed how time travel could really work by using the laws of quantum physics.
While their method won't let you hop back to the time of the dinosaurs, scientists say it could be possible to send messages into the past.
The researchers even say this mind–bending technique would work just like in Christopher Nolan's sci–fi epic, Interstellar.
In the movie, an astronaut played by Matthew McConaughey sends a message to his daughter in the past by moving the hands on her watch.
Although the reality wouldn't be so cinematic, the researchers argue that this 'causal loop' resembles the way real time travel would work.
Co–author Dr Kaiyuan Ji, a researcher at Cornell University, told New Scientist: 'The father remembers how the daughter decodes his future message.
'So he can instruct himself on what is the best way to encode the message.'

Is Doug McClure the captain of this ship?
Or Troy McClure.
And a World Almanac.
Are you channeling’Boom Chicka Boom”?
There is no picture of Lloyd the inventor of the fLuX capacitator! ;-)
Speaking of 116...
How about the Clock Tower? It never did get repaired (What did the Hill Valley Preservation Society do with all of the donations, hmmm??)
It's been stuck on 10-4, 10:04 p.m. for 70 years, since November 12, 1955.
116 "Yinon" minutes to midnight.
And like Daniel in Babylon, Bill and Ted knew their history. That's how they found the keys to the jail, to free all of the historical figures:
Then she dropped him for Lex Luthor. “Do you know what I mean” ?
There is no time travel. Mortals live in a world of cause and effect and have no way of getting out of that. God is the only one who is completely independent of the cause/effect sequence.
“Message to myself, 2010: BUY BITCOIN!!!”
Obviously it doesn’t work since you never got the message.
Spoiler alert. Hulu has a show out called Paradise about this subject. But you don’t find out until season 2
I was told to drink more Ovaltine.
“There is no time travel. “
Time travel is one component of our journey through space-time.
I thought the definition of quantum action is that it moved in unpredictable ways. So, could the message go forward or backward or sideways?
When Bitcoin first came out, it was possible to buy it in “Second Life”, a massive multiplayer persistent online simulated world, the players themselves could program in.
It was made available in Second Life Kiosks, and I had enough Second Life money to purchase 600 bitcoin. Money I had made in the game and didn’t really need.
I almost did it. I’m not even sure why I didn’t.
These days, I suspect that kind of wealth would have proven troublesome for me, so, I’m good. ;-)
~Easy
If I could communicate with my young self, I’d be ok with that.
“Attention 1965 Americans! Sen. Edward “Ted” Kennedy is lying to you when he says the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965 ‘will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.’ You must stop him!!”
So are they saying the past just keeps repeating itself over and over?
The fact that God can move anywhere along the timeline tells us it is possible, but it may be only possible for God.
One of my favorite tunes. Abigail doesn't deal with big cosmic ideas, but just what you'd tell a younger you if you could. Songs like this take on new meaning as you reach your late years. First verse:
If I could talk to a younger me
I'd tell me to go slow
Time on earth it moves so fast
And when it's gone, it’s gone
When it’s gone, it's gone
