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.'

"By God whatever you do, do NOT vote for the Kenyan!"
About a year ago I got a message from me in the future, it was garbled but had something about Spirit Airlines so I assumed it was me telling the past me to put everything into Spirit Airlines.
The book “Thrice upon a Time” by James P. Hogan does a great job of speculating about this concept.
In a nutshell: Instead of deciding what to do, you wait for a message from the future to tell you.
I was told to invest in Zinc.
Message to myself, 2010: BUY BITCOIN!!!
So,,,,they could send a message to JFK the week before Dallas and tell him of his future assassination?
Is that not a form of time travel forward with information?
The winning lottery numbers are...
Is Doug McClure the captain of this ship?
I send the old me messages all the time. I look back at crap I did, then send “WTF were you thinking?”
DONT VOTE FOR THE FIRST AMNESTY, THEY KEEP DOING MORE OF THEM
DONT VOTE FOR CARTER HE GIVES AWAY THE PANAMA CANAL AND IRAN GOES RADICAL MUSLIM
DONT LISTEN TO THE CLIMATE RADICALS, EVERYTHING IS A LIE AND CORRUPTED DATA AND INCORRECT PREDICTOR PROGRAMS
DONT LISTEN TO THE GAYS AND ALPHABET PEOPLE THAT ALL THEY WANT IS TO JUST EXIST, ITS A TOTAL LIE
The big paradox: Mom, please do not have children
Now, did I send this message back in time?
time travel is not possible, nor will it ever be possible. No-one could keep that secret, we’d already know about it. The temptation to meddle in the past would simply be too great
Remember “it’s a cook book” might be a good message to Area 51.
“The winning lottery numbers are...”
That slot machine is going to pay off in 3 minutes!
Great minds think alike!
“If you happen to see that chick with the red bikini at Penrod’s, stay far, far away!”
Send a message to 1787. “For the love of your country. TERM LIMITS!”
Nope. Have to go back further and tell our founding fathers “Pick your own damn cotton”.
:) good point.
