I'm seriously thinking about, if I can get some of the right people interested, starting a nonprofit organization legally obligated toward answering the following question (like a corporation has a document defining what it must act toward, normally profit)...

In what cases or contexts would the ability to send bits of information back in time improve the global economy? This must of course consider infinitely manyworlds multiverse theory, copenhagen, and other related theories accepted by physicists. While at first appearing excessively abstract and impractical, the question's direct benefit is for the world to better understand the effects of extremely fast computer stock trading and other time dependent processes in the global economy, such as why the global economy nearly crashed multiple times in recent years and other probable variations of such problems including those involving intelligent software processes not yet invented.

A public debate including leading experts on related subjects like physics, economics, Newcomb's paradox decision theory, and Lockheed Martin's recent research into Quantum Radar which was funded for the specific purpose of feeling into near hypersurfaces in space and time (like delayed choice quantum eraser), and other related subjects of science and experts on global processes... could come together to answer a simple question with big implications. It could expand to debates of unification of many parts of the world and areas of science and thought, so I suggest it as a good investment for places like xprize and an addition to the "millenium prize problems" and things like that.

This could stand some rewriting, but the main idea is solid... Its a simple question that can help many people understand a more complex problem that costs us globally potentially trillions of dollars, the mismanagement of the economy based on a lack of understanding of the unfair advantages gained by fast traders over slightly slower traders, futures and shorting, in a context independent of the specific financial structures which are only details.

Very simply, if you can answer the question in the case of a forced delay in knowledge of market prices (maybe nobody sees it for 2 minutes, and we all have to gamble what eachother will commit to an amount and buy/sell price), then there must be a continuous calculus curve from that extending back in time 1 minute, the same curve as extending back 3 minutes (1 minute into the past).

Can the world afford not to debate this question? We can know for sure somebody is interested by the research into Quantum Radar, but more importantly, the nanosecond economic systems. Time travel and delay in knowledge are basically the same question.
