Proof of time travel from future to past

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on a humorous interpretation of receiving a reminder about the electoral register form dated October 15, 2011, on October 6, 2011. The user humorously suggests that the registrar must have traveled back in time to deliver this message. The discussion references Einstein's theory of simultaneity and proposes a playful experiment of reading the note on different days to explore this time travel concept further. The conversation highlights the absurdity of the situation while engaging with theoretical physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Einstein's theory of simultaneity
  • Basic knowledge of time travel concepts in physics
  • Familiarity with electoral registration processes
  • Ability to engage in humorous and theoretical discussions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Einstein's theory of simultaneity in detail
  • Explore popular theories of time travel in physics
  • Investigate the electoral registration process and its implications
  • Engage in discussions about the philosophical aspects of time travel
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics enthusiasts, humorists, and anyone interested in the intersection of theoretical concepts and everyday situations, particularly in the context of time travel and electoral processes.

Today, October 6th 2011 I received my first official reminder about the electoral register form I obviously didn't complete on 15 October 2011 from the Registrar.
He further wrote

If for any reason you have been missed off the register, or your details have changed since 15 October 2011 (for example because you have moved) you should contact us immediately.

Well after trying unsuccessfully to apply Einsteins theory of simultainity to the concept of instantaneous contact I came to the conclusion that the only rational explanation is that the registrar has very kindly traveled back in time to deliver this message today.

Proof enough for me!

Another PF first!
 
Looks legit to me.
 
I'd like to see a repeat experiment. Try reading the note again tomorrow. And again, yesterday.
 
And again, yesterday.

:smile:
 
They can also probably tell you who you voted for in the next election, in case you have any second thoughts.
