Hi,
My name is Vitaly, and I'm a visual effects artist and filmmaker.
I'm planning to shoot a sci-fi short film, in the end of this April. The logline goes like this: A scientist must send a warning message through time before he gets killed by an assault team.
It's going to be an intense 6-minute-long short with an '80s/retro-futuristic vibe to it.
Let's say there is a scientist who created a sophisticated technology to physically transmit matter through time.
Essentially, he created a device which operates as a sender and a receiver.
Let's say the scientist puts a piece of paper into the device and sends it, like, several hours back into the past, which means that the device establishes a conditional (or random) connection with a parallel universe B (several hours back) where the same device in the same laboratory receives this little piece of paper. Now, having this connection set between two universes (in essence, between two devices), the same scientist from universe B (past) can send a piece of paper back to universe A (present). This is how he communicates with his past (future) self/instance.
The actual physical process of transmission is unclear. Let's say the device creates a stable traversable wormhole, with some gravity/anti-gravity effects during the process.
Now, there is an old-fashioned chalkboard in the lab of this scientist. I want to fill it with real, legit-looking equations and derivations related to the physics described above. Some real hardcore stuff that makes sense, not just random equations from a textbook or Wikipedia.
So, if you're that scientist and you deal with quantum multiverse, wormholes, time and gravity, what would you have on your chalkboard? :)
I'd be really grateful to get some references to any papers that I can copy a valid portion of math/concepts from. Although the film is set in 1984, I'm interested in the current (present time) state of physics.
Thank you!
