   Traditionally it's taught that, though theoretically possible,   
   time travel is effectively impossible. But only for humans!   
      
   Tachyons!   
      
   They're a particle that theoretically exist, these Tachyons,   
   and they do smash the time barrier!   
      
   Tachyons are a hypothetical/theoretical particle that moves   
   faster than light and hence backwards in time. If they do   
   exist, or can exist, then even if humans can't move backwards   
   through time our information can!   
      
   We can send messages to the past!   
      
   How far back?  No clue.   
      
   So, assuming Tachyons are real then how does that help us   
   beat time?   
      
   #1.   
      
   Well. It all starts with detection. We need a means to detect   
   Tachyons. If Techyons are real then we should be able to   
   detect them, eventually.   
      
   NOTE:  We do NOT have to detect Tachyons directly!  "Detecting"   
   Tachyons means we have to know that they're there, perhaps   
   their direction and number but it does NOT mean we have to be   
   able to see them directly. An example of this is how we have   
   often been unable to detect a planet directly, but could   
   detect a dimming of a sun's light output as the planet passed   
   in front of it. So we detected a dimming, and hence knew there   
   was a planet present.   
      
   According to Google AI, which I place zero faith in, Tachyons   
   could be detected indirectly. WE can't see them, but we can   
   see the result of them moving through space/matter...   
      
   #2.   
      
   Once Techyons are detectable, you set up Tachyon detectors.   
   Spread them around, various "Safe" locations, maybe even place   
   one in orbit or the moon!   
      
   NOTE:  Leave room!  A thousand years from now somebody may   
   want to set up a Tachyon generator right in front of your   
   detector! They'll never reach the detector, because they'll   
   travel back in time, perhaps reaching your detector in the   
   past!   
      
   #3.  Figure out how to generate Tachyons.   
      
   NOTE:  This doesn't have to happen right away. Once you have   
   an accurate, reliable detector, you can set that up and maybe   
   start receiving messages from the future right away, and   
   certainly prior to inventing a Tachyon generator!   
      
   The messages are coming from the future. Doesn't matter what   
   we can do in the present...   
      
   #3.  Figure out how to generate Tachyons.   
      
   Ideally you're going to generate Tachyons in a controlled way.   
   In other words, you can tap out Tachyons in a morse code or   
   even a binary code! Now you can send messages backwards in   
   time, though no further back than your first completed detector.   
      
   #4.  You know where the Tachyon detectors are, right? So start   
   tapping out your messages to the past in morse code!   
      
   Warn them about any coming attack, natural disaster or crisis.   
      
   Send cures you've developed, technology you've developed and   
   maybe even the identities of criminals?   
      
   THE WORST problem in this scheme is that there may not be a   
   significant difference in time. It's entirely possible you   
   might be able to send a message at light speed to Mars and   
   then have Mars send it back to earth via Tachyon only to   
   arrive AFTER you sent it! But...   
      
   At light speed, signals moving to & from Mars would take   
   anywhere from 6 to 44 minutes round trip. Europa would   
   require a 90 minute round trip.... but think of this:   
      
   What if we get rid of people like Biden and replace them   
   with leaders who prioritize science over foreign wars? We   
   might actually get a mission to proxima centauri. Once   
   we're talking LIGHT YEARS then even a small increase over   
   light speed might shave months off of turn-around times!   
      
   I'm guessing, and you can tell me if I'm wrong if you want but,   
   I'm guessing that the greater the distance, the further back in   
   time the Tachyons travel. If so...   
      
   #5.  Send information to as distant of a Tachyon detector as   
   you can, and then have it send it back to you. So if you have   
   a detector on proxima centauri, say, Tachyons might possibly   
   arrive BEFORE you send them, and when they beam it back you'   
   that will DOUBLE the time difference!   
      
   Okay, so it would likely take you DECADES to move a Tachyon   
   detector & emitter to proxima centauri. True. But you can   
   still be utilizing it the whole way there!   
      
   Right?   
      
   At Apollo Mission speeds it took 3 days to reach the moon. So,   
   in 6 days you could be twice as far as the moon! In 30 days   
   you can be 10x the distance to the moon!   
      
   And that's at 1960s Apollo Mission speeds!   
      
   The whole time the craft is in motion, on it's journey, you   
   could be using it. Your messages wouldn't go THAT far back in   
   time, I'm guessing, or maybe they will.   
      
   I'm honestly clueless about the nitty gritty here. I grasp   
   the "Big Picture" and none of the minutia. But I would be   
   willing to bet that the time-travel thing would start to   
   show benefit long before a dector/emitter sent to a distant   
   world even left our solar system...   
      
   So, maybe we can send messages decades or centuries backwards   
   in time, maybe we can send them in minutes. But think of this:   
      
   Even if all we might do is cut transmission times in half, that   
   shaves YEARS off a two-way message exchange between Earth and   
   proxima centauri.   
      
   What if we could send messages 15 minutes into our past? That   
   alone might stop an assassination, a terrorist attack or a   
   military strike.   
      
   And unlike faster than light spaceships, messages that travel   
   backwards in time are a real potential as we understand things.   
   The principles are rather simplistic. We can easily generate   
   electrons and photons. If we could figure out a way to generate   
   faster than light particles, we're effectively done.   
      
   That's it.
