A couple of months back I was reading an article about an Australian physicist who theorized that not only does quantum entanglement affect particles across space, but also, particles may be entangled through time as well. If we can calibrate this effect, it seems to me like it would be pretty easy to transmit data through time.
At first we would like be constrained to posing simple "yes" or "no" questions to our future selves. For example, an MIT professor may create a qubit in 2011 with instructions to his future self to alter the state of the qubit in 2013 if Obama is re-elected president. However, as quantum computing develops, we would soon have access to full-blown communication with our future selves (complete with video feeds from the future).
So, assuming the professor is correct, what do you guys think a society would look like where everything in the future is knowable and in which 2-way communication between the present and the future is possible?
