This is interesting. Is it possible to transmit information from the

This is a very difficult issue, as you can see (example below).

There is also the interesting class of TSQT.
Quantum theory is time symmetric as long as it can be
described by the evolution of a state vector

I don't see why one would want to go back, but
there are still copies left in ordinary universes, there are universes in which
the probability to win will return to normal after a while. One should thus be
able to go back using a suicide machine. Also one could use memory erasure to go
I had the set of all possible universes in mind. But, as I wrote earlier (in
August), the set of all possible universes is contained in the MWI. The

Dear Saibal, you misunderstood my post. I did
not ask about "technicalities" of your sci-fi,
I simply suggested that you may not "play" to
get from here to there, but are "here" by a play
from "over there". Simply humor, nothing
else.
