PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 1 (UPI) -- It sounds like something out of the movie "Back to the Future," but one forward-thinking physicist says as computer technology progresses, scientists may be able to use wormholes to send answers to calculations back to their own past to solve problems.

if so then we would already see these changes, right?

This is the sort of stuff that when you start to think about it, the more confused you get. :s9



* Well I do anyway ;D

Mentalcase, I would have thought that it probably won't have happened in the past until they complete the program in the future. Once we hit the date of completion of the program in the future then we will hear about how certain dicoveries would be made in the past.

I suppose the trick is knowing which answers sent from the future to apply to which questions. Your timing would have to be pretty good I suppose. Also, considering the scientist won't know about the time travelling computer program it is likeley that they'll freak out and wonder if somebody is having a laugh with them.

Blimey! ;D

I think it would be easier to send messages to the furture. <shrug>

Maybe they are already sending information to the past, but we aren't capable to understand what is coming to us.

The more I think about it the more my brain hurts ???

I don't think that this is possible. And if it is, god help us.

Hmmm........I think its possible ..... :s3

:s2 I knew you were going to say that (my computer told me) :so
