Given the fact that data is an electric circuit of ones and zeros, flowing at the speed of light, could we technically send information across time?

Yes, you can make a post and then I can read it later. If you're talking about reverse time like I read your post and then you make it, no. For that to happen, you'd need to send the data faster than the speed of light and our current understanding of physics deems that impossible.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
