I either read about this guy, or some other guy doing much the same thing years ago.

My question is: why has he not already got confirmation of success or failure already?

Surely, the absence of a signal would mean any future attempt is a sign of failure?

Or maybe he had in mind sending a signal in old-school Morse Code to some frontier outpost in 18th century America to have a letter delivered on a specific date?

I’m thinking about Back to the Future III here.

For me, time travel is a fascinating subject, and it’s something I’ve given thought to before now…

Quantum retrocausality

Sounds like bunk to me, but you never know. DARPA however, the funding agency for controversial conjectures agrees and is not going to fund the necessary research. That’s bizarre in itself, of course, because being able to send a signal back in time would revolutionize war, as well as giving you a chance to win tomorrow’s lottery yesterday.

Well, you know me, always burping out random sci-tech news…
