Time travel... Well perhaps
Year zero huh. Well perhaps I think not. On the scales that the Large Hadron Collidor MAY create wormholes, it is not possible for any future society to utilise as any form of time travel device. HOWEVER, a more interesting possiblity actually exists. Though these subatomic blackholes and wormholes may be created (as I'm led to understand with equal probability) and their presence should be detected by a loss of overall energy, there is an interesting conclusion that could follow:
Just as Alexander Graham bell called for Watson, or Edison recorded "Mary had a little lamb", so these experiments could reveal the first examples of retrotemporal communication. It would be far easier to send a signal through a wormhole than a human being after all. How could this be detected. Well a if an unexpected increase in energy within the system was detected then one would have to seriously examine the manifestation of the data to look for an encoded message. I know what your saying, the message would be seriously corrupted via the mechanism in which we are trying to send it. But this is retrotemporal communication. Hopefully we already know the outcome of the data, we know the experimental conditions into which we are trying to project (which is why the future us MUST leave the initial runs for data collection, otherwise their message would paradoxically destroy any chance of them being able to send it. And it would need to be pulsed in order to detect it as a significant anomaly.)
And what should the first message from the future be? Well, as always I have a penchant for the dramatic. Hence I would propose I Allegro con brio by Ludwig van Beethoven. Just imagine it, truly awesome and awe-inspiring. So listen up future, you have your instructions. The message has been placed in a bottle and cast out to sea. I hope you answer!
PAradoxes a plenty!
