A device capable of “telegraphing into the past” was later also called a “tachyonic antitelephone” by Gregory Benford et al. According to the current understanding of physics,
no such faster-than-light transfer of information is actually possible
.
Do messages travel at speed of light?
Well –
they travel about as fast as light does through a glass fibre and a similar speed when they are in electrical form on cables
. (about 2/3 speed). Between you and the local cell base station, they go a bit faster.
How does a message travel across the world?
Cell phones use antennae to transmit and receive radio waves that carry binary information. Every cell tower presides over an area of land, where it receives and transmits radio waves.
When a text message is written, it is transmitted as binary code using a particular frequency of radio waves specific to that user
.
How can I send a message to myself in the past?
How far can a text message travel?
Messages are limited to
160 characters
including spaces, hence the name “short messaging service.” Depending on your cell phone provider, your phone will either prevent you from typing past 160 characters, or it will send your message in blocks of 160 characters.
Can data travel through time?
For data that is currently in Time Travel:
If the data is still within the new shorter period, it remains in Time Travel
. If the data is outside the new period, it moves into Fail-safe.
How are messages transmitted from one phone to another?
Text messages channel information
through a cellular tower
, which is essentially a two-way radio that accepts and relays information to and from cell phones. Radios emit what are known as radio waves, which are invisible and allow you to communicate back and forth with a radio.
Why do you think text message was not delivered?
There are a number of reasons why an SMS message might not get delivered, but some of the most common are:
the recipient opted out of messages, the recipient blocked your phone number, the message contained illegal content, or there were network problems with the recipient's carrier
.
How do messages send from one phone to another?
- Download Droid Transfer 1.34 and Transfer Companion 2.
- Connect your Android device (quick start guide).
- Open the “Messages” tab.
- Create a backup of your messages.
- Disconnect the phone, and connect the new Android device.
- Choose which messages to transfer from the backup to the phone.
- Hit “Restore”!
How fast can data travel?
Researchers in the U.K. have created fiber cables that move data at 99.73 percent the speed light, and combined them with technologies that allow for incredible
73.7 terabits per second
— that's a 5GB HD movie downloaded in 1 second.
How fast does a Whatsapp message travel?
Single SMS and Auto-replies are usually delivered within 5 seconds
. 2. Group SMS campaigns are delivered depending on the number of recipients.
Is anything faster than light?
Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity famously dictates that
no known object can travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum
, which is 299,792 km/s. This speed limit makes it unlikely that humans will ever be able to send spacecraft to explore beyond our local area of the Milky Way.
Can we send information to the past?
A device capable of “telegraphing into the past” was later also called a “tachyonic antitelephone” by Gregory Benford et al. According to the current understanding of physics,
no such faster-than-light transfer of information is actually possible
.
How are cell phone signals transmitted?
When you're talking on a cell phone, it converts your voice into a signal that is transmitted
via radio waves
to the nearest cell tower. The cell tower then relays the radio wave back to the person you're speaking to, converting it first to a signal and then back to sound again.
How are SMS messages sent?
As for the actual transmission of an SMS,
the text message from the sending mobile device is stored in a separate channel called the short message service center (SMSC)
. Its primary job was forwarding messages to recipients and storing SMS messages if the recipient isn't immediately available.
Do text messages go through satellites?
Cell phones and satellite
As explained above that
the cell phones don't use the satellite system on their own to make phone calls or for the delivery of text messages whatsoever
.
Can time travel possible?
General relativity.
Time travel to the past is theoretically possible in certain general relativity spacetime geometries that permit traveling faster than the speed of light
, such as cosmic strings, traversable wormholes, and Alcubierre drives.
Can I go back to the past?
The urge to hug a departed loved one again or prevent atrocities are among the compelling reasons that keep the notion of time travel alive in the minds of many. While the idea makes for great fiction,
some scientists now say traveling to the past is impossible
.
Why is it not possible to travel back in time?
The law of causality follows from the fact that nothing can be faster than the speed of light. The law states that
the effect of an action can only occur after the cause
, which would make time travel into the past impossible.
Where does a text go when you send it?
In the same way, when you send a message,
your phone sends it to the tower on the control channel and it goes from the tower to the SMSC and from there to its destination
. The actual data format for the message includes things like the length of the message, a time stamp, the destination phone number, the format, etc.
How do I check text messages?
Why is my text blue but not delivered?
If the iMessage never shows a “Delivered” or “Read” message, and it's still blue, then
you may have been blocked
– but not always. If the iMessage goes through and shows a “Read” receipt, then you have definitely not been blocked.
Does message not delivered mean blocked?
If an Android user has blocked you, Lavelle says, “your text messages will go through as usual; they just won't be delivered to the Android user
.” It's the same as an iPhone, but without the “delivered” notification (or lack thereof) to clue you in.
Will a text message say delivered if phone is off?
If the recipient's phone is off,
iMessage will not say delivered to the sender until the phone is powered back on
. iMessage will only go through and says delivered if the recipient has other Apple devices with iMessage enabled.
