Super Collider Might Make Time Travel Possible
I don’t know whether I should be frightened or excited. This thing goes online in May ‘08.
Recently, black hole and brane production at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been widely discussed. We suggest that there is a possibility to test causality at the LHC. We argue that if the scale of quantum gravity is of the order of few TeVs, proton-proton collisions at the LHC could lead to the formation of time machines (spacetime regions with closed timelike curves) which violate causality. One model for the time machine is a traversable wormhole. We argue that the traversable wormhole production cross section at the LHC is of the same order as the cross section for the black hole production. Traversable wormholes assume violation of the null energy condition (NEC) and an exotic matter similar to the dark energy is required. Decay of the wormholes/time machines and signatures of time machine events at the LHC are discussed.

If the LHC does create small wormholes they would only be large enough for small amounts of information to come through at a time. They need to set up some sort of device that can read the information in a morse code kind of form. If somehow contact from the future is made I would assume the first information received would be instructions on creating a device to make communication even easier.
Let’s hope that things go that well.
