Google’s Project Flux Time Traveling plans are Leaked by Google!

On the occasion of Back to the Future Day, Google has tweeted a link to a pdf in which it outlines plans for what it calls "Project Flux."

Spotted by The Verge, the document is linked to a seemingly unrelated tweet that reads, "Special delivery: 15 new Gmail themes to make your inbox more awesome → goo.gl/1cGrWd."

Clicking on the link leads to a 14-page document that begins with the message "Confidential: Do Not Share Outside of Google."

It goes on to lay out the mission of the fictional Project Flux, including the statement, "Teleportation is only an incremental solution to make the world universally explorable. Flux is designed to be a 10x solution."

Drawings for 7 "prototype capsules" follow, as does a mention of plans to hold "88 public test flights by mid-2016."

Google also goes ahead and warns users about unsafe time travel, stating:

“Unsafe travel with Flux can have serious repercussions on future events, up to and including erasure from existence. To understand causes of post-future disruption all tests were performed double-blind in which two or more users travel to the same space time to make specific interventions (or none). Present observers were positioned to evaluate any changes and abort travel if necessary.”
