Time Travel Committee of Project Paradox

The TTRCCP

The TTRCPP was a committee formed after the success of Project Paradox, when a particle was successfully sent back in time by 1.453 seconds by sending one of a wormhole pair to relativistic speeds, and sending a particle through the opposite wormhole. The result was that the transported wormhole was running slower through time, meaning things in the present could be sent to the time that the transported wormhole is in. This complicated all sorts of things in physics and philosophy, mainly if you could stop yourself from sending something backwards in time before firing a particle, but after the particle leaves the wormhole.

After the test was conducted, funds were diverted towards the committee to allow more extensive experimentation and bigger time intervals as bigger ships could be purchased.

Tests and Events

In 2500, a wormhole was created in the Sol star system and another sent at close to the speed of light on a round trip to the Sirius system. When it came back in 2750, a 2 week negative time interval was observed.

In 2650, a wormhole was sent very close to the speed of light, and it has not come back since.

In 2701, a recording of a wormhole shutting before a particle was fired, but after the particle left the wormhole, was found in one of the labs on Gaia, and no-one really seems to know where it came from, nor why there's no record of it happening other than the recording. The recording cuts off just after the particle cannon fires, and both particles come into contact by sheer chance.
