So, here’s the deal: You’ve managed to acquire the data, but disaster strikes, and your time machine is destroyed by an enemy time traveler team. This is crucial historical data that you’ll have to get into the future to avert the apocalypse. Due to the constraints of the space-time continuum, all time travelers staying outside of their “home” time for longer than 1 year will die, so you have exactly 1 year to prepare. How do you make sure the future discovers the data, while preventing the enemy time traveler faction from stealing the data?
(Remember: don’t just chuck it in a hard drive and bury it in a forest somewhere, the data will degrade)
“Back to the Future, Part 2” tells me law firms will hold and deliver things.
Easy enough for future time travelers to protect data from themselves until certain dates.
Enemy time travelers? Gotta keep the “how”, “where” and “when” quiet forever. Keeping it boring will keep it from being repeated.
