Tachyonic Antitelephone
|
A tachyonic antitelephone is a hypothetical device
in theoretical physics that could
be used to send signals into one's
own past. Such a device was first contemplated
by R. C. Tolmanin 1917[1] in
a demonstration of how faster-than-light signals can lead to
a paradox of
causality (a.k.a. Tolman's paradox).
The example of the antitelephone is a thought experiment intended to
demonstrate how any faster-than-light communications capability
could lead to causality violations. According to the current
understanding of physics, no such faster-than-light transfer of
information is actually possible. For instance, the
hypothetical tachyon particles which give the device
its name do not exist even theoretically in the standard model of
particle physics, due to tachyon condensation, and there is no
experimental evidence that suggests that they might exist. The
problem of detecting tachyons via causal contradictions is
considered in Ref.

The posted co-ordinates are for the location of the BFL Command
Centre on October 30, 2010. There is no geocache to be found there,
but on the event night you will encounter geocachers there.
There are two ways you can visit this geocache.
Option One: Visit the final cache before any of the required
stages, by simply remembering to send the information into your own
past when you visit the stages in the future. You should remember
to visit the stages eventually, or you may end up causing a paradox
and end life as we know it in this temporal plane, or worse, you
may disrupt the Temporal Prime.
Option Two:
For the
BFL Boot Camp V - Devilluminati event on October 30,2010 this
cache and 9 other caches were placed. You can choose one (or both)
of the two lists of 5 geocaches to visit and obtain the codes for
the final. One you have the codes, complete the math puzzle shown,
and you will have the co-ordinates of the final.
Since there are 9 caches, one of the caches is listed in both
tracks.

To locate the final, use the codes you
grabbed in each of the caches to calculate X and Y
|
ALPHA TRACK
X = Chris-Mouse + Avernar
Y = Brain21 + Dr. House + Northernpenguin
|
BETA TRACK
X = Team Goju + Cache4Pat + Northernpenguin
Y = res2100 + Teamvoyagr
|
Take the values for X and Y, and use them
as shown below
N = X / 1000 - 10
W = Y / 1000 - 10
Add N and W to the posted coordinates for this cache
