    An Experiment into the Controlled Release of Information about the Future.

    Reasonably sure you meant 'mourning'. Might want to give them safety advice. Some people using Virtual Worlds (VW), like Second Life (SL) have experienced issues of psychological addiction, dreaming of things experienced in SL, and flash-backs, in their day-to-day life, to SL experiences...

    Risk of posting corrections while tired... 'scape' should have been 'scrape', as in scrape by. The process of extracting stuff from asteroids is generally called 'asteroid mining', whether you dig into them, crush then refine, or just melt the whole thing and do something like zone refining...

    'scape'? 'mines'? 'lead'? Should this episode be Threadmarked? I'd been waiting for this. Worth the wait, I think.

    An Experiment into the Controlled Release of Information about the Future.

    Might want to look at crystal storage devices which've been recycled as jewellery? Or, stored somewhere by archaeologists as 'ancient ritual jewellery' and never looked at hard? If it's stuffed full of 'ancient ritual jewellery' whether Solar Flares are involved would be irrelevant... I'm...

    Shouldn't overlook human curiosity... They can read them, there are people with 1960s computers still working in their garages. I guarantee the FBI have the tech to read them. There are some amazingly fanatic tech fans. The programs will be around, somewhere, unless they were something...

    This is a real pity, as this means that archival science had a major failure. Best at the moment seems to be archive-quality optical storage, CDs and DVDs that allegedly have a 50-yr lifespan. After which you copy to new media (yes, you have three copies at different locations, for security)...

    An Experiment into the Controlled Release of Information about the Future.

    An educated guess would be material with negative energy, which are theorised to be needed to open large wormholes, and, be a required component of a number of proposed FTL drive schemes. You. of course, are not allowed to comment. :) The obvious place to go looking for it would be on the...

    An Experiment into the Controlled Release of Information about the Future.

    Interesting exercise... If you do want to send stuff interstellar why not send a nanoship back in time, launch it from an obscure bit of the Solar System at your target star, then receive the radio/laser messages it sends which you receive not long after you send it back? No paradox issues...
