Wormhole Computing

Published: | Posted By:

The basic premise here is similar to what happened in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. If you remember towards the end when Bill and Ted are in the jailhouse Ted says to himself "Remember a trashcan". Well after the history report they remembered that they needed to help their now, now past, selves and dropped a trashcan on the guard. It gets even more complicated with the keys but that’s another story.

Anyhow the theoretical physicist Todd Brun is thinking it would be pretty cool to use wormhole theories to send data back to computers from the future making computing tasks take no time at all.

Now if I remember correctly the theory of time travel is that you can travel from present time to the future and then back to present but you cannot travel back in time unless the "past" initiates the request, so I'm guessing that the computer will travel though time solving problems and come back to the present with the answers?? tongue smile
