A time-telephone is instrumental in creating a Dirac like impulse
function in human capacity around 2040 known as the technological
singularity - where an infinite amount of progress is compressed into
a finite time.

That is, information from all forward times becomes available at some
finite point in time, and is usefully organized in a computer data
bank.  Such telephones are possible theoretically.  How to reduce them
to practice?

haha.. I think I have the answer.   At least for us.

We'll figure out the details by putting a few good grad students on it
for a few months, and maybe scare up a few telescopes to do the
experiment.  It will put FFT analyzers to good use, and should be
capable of being completed in a matter of minutes - and may even
provide an answer to SETI.   There's no encyclopedia galactica
spanning the galaxy because all the wise guys know you communicate
through the black hole at the center - something like that.  And when
we set up our own time telephone, maybe we'll get someone to break in,
or tap us on the shoulder so to speak!  lol.   Even if they're in the
distant future or past.

A positive result with a simple CTL loop would likely produce a
dedicated time signalling facility, of ever increasing bandwidth.   It
would be great to have a time telephone.  I wouldn't have to wait 10
weeks after I order furniture to have it arrive.  In fact, the
furniture could be on its way as I leave for the store and be setup by
the time I return haha..

I just sent an e-mail to time researcher, Ron Mallett, and one of his
RAs at the University of Connecticut - based on my comments here on
usenet.

I will report any progress in the future!  lol.

Here's what it says in part;

Ron, Marshall,

I was looking at the possibility of having sun orbiting power
satellites to beam energy to laser light sail driven starships by way
of gravity lensing around the sun from a great distance away.  I was
wondering how far one might project useful energy.

Then I was wondering about the sensitivity of a telescope that used
the sun's gravity field as a lens.

Then I started thinking about the 4 million solar mass - supermassive
black hole at the center of our galaxy.

The object spins once every 11 minutres.  That means the 23 million km
diameter sphere spins with an equatorial speed at 37% the speed of
light.  It is also approximately  30,000 light years away.

As Ron knows, it is possible to send signals around that object in a
way that returns a portion of the signal back to Earth at a points in
time earlier as well as later than it left.  That is some of the
radiant energy arriving at the black hole forms a CTL path
implementing a reversed time link with nothing more than a radio
telescope.

With such a setup it should be possible to send signals back and forth
across the cosmos in real time!   This allows tele-robotics and
telepresence to operate instantly across the cosmos with technology
only marginally in advance of our own.   Real time data links with
Mars for example and obviously - beyond.

That is, a small portion of a powerful radio pulse sent from Earth
should be capable of being detected back on Earth at the same time, as
well as shortly before and shortly after it was sent, since a portion
of the energy travels through many paths around the black hole.

Using 1 micron wavelengths, and using emitters locate 1,000 AU
distance from the center of the sun, to use gravity lensing to create
an effective collimated emitter 20 million km in diameter to
illuminate the 20 million km diameter black hole 284 quadrillion km
away.

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/phyopt/Raylei.html

sin theta_r = 1.22 lambda/diam1

lambda = 1e-6 m
diam1 = 2e+10 m

sin theta_r = 6.1e-15

diam2 = L * sin theta_r

L = 2.84e+20 m

diam2 = 2.84e+20 * 6.1e-15
         = 46,557 meters

So, using a system described here, its possible to transmit a signal
to a particular spot only 46.6 km in diameter on the surface of the
supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy, and receive a
signal back from a similarly sized spot.

Knowing the physical characteristics of this object it should be
possible to send signals through CTL pathways efficiently, and
receieve an instantaneous confirmation of that fact!

In this way a 'negative delay loop' can be introduced into ANY
telecommunications link, providing instantaneous communications across
ANY distance over the time frame the supermassive black hole
exists.

It is also possible to signal from any point in time to any other in
this interval!

Can we do this with conventional radio telescopes?

The 1,000 ft (304.8 m) Arecibo dish operating in the water hole - 21
cm - wavelength - can project a spot at 30,000 light years of;

http://www.setileague.org/general/waterhol.htm

diam2 = L * 1.22 lambda/diam1

lambda = 0.21 m
diam1 = 304.8m
L = 2.84e+20 m = 30,000 ly

diam2 = 25.21 light years

ONLY A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE ENERGY FALLS ON THE 23 MILLION KM
DIAMETER BLACK HOLE.

Using a VLBI setup with a 10,000 km separation

lambda = 0.21 m
diam1 = 1e+7 m
L = 2.84e+20 m = 30,000 ly
    7.2 million km

ALL THE ENERGY FALLS ON A SPECIFIC SPOT ON THE 23 MILLION KM DIAMETER
BLACK HOLE - WHICH MEANS CONVENTIONAL VLBI TECHINQUES USING 21 CM
WAVELENGTHS SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF CREATING AND DETECTING CTL LIGHT
PATHS AROUND THE GALAXY'S CORE!

This provides not only important scientific information, but will also
provide profound technological capabilities.
