You know how they mention the LHC and about how it could create mini black
holes and stuff like the world-line ideas

Also how the 36-bytes limit works for a D-mail and the theories behind the
time-leap machine. Where do you think they got that from?

steins-gate
What are the scientific inspirations for Steins;Gate?


The most unrealistic part of the time-leap machine is that they had to
decompress that 36-byte message and put it back to one's head. And they just
used a cellphone for that.

Regarding to compressing a huge amount of data to a 36-byte (288-bit) message
- yes, it's totally possible. However there should be a decompressor which
would also use a huge amount of data.

Using a black hole for "compression"? It's a joke. Actual compression doesn't
work like this. It's all about making tables or "dictionaries". Here's a
simple algorithm which can compress any amount of data to a 1-byte message
(sometimes it can not):

Compressor: replace "apple" with "1", "orange" with "2", anything else with
"3:anything else".  
Decompressor: replace "1" with "apple", "2" with "orange", message like
"3:anything else" with anything else.

See? It can compress 5-byte and 6-byte messages to a 1-byte message!

So the LHC creating mini-blackholes was a preliminary fear [held by non-
researchers about
CERN.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2016/03/11/could-the-lhc-
make-an-earth-killing-black-hole/#2c8eecbc2ed5)

The mini-blackholes themselves are NOT how time travel works, they aren't used
for compression or decompression, the fact is the blackhole size or power or
"something" determined the maximum amount of data that could go back in time.
Actually it stated outright that the travel through the blackholes in
Steins;gate is specifically a Kerr Black Hole. [more information is
here.](http://www.strangerdimensions.com/2012/07/17/could-a-kerr-black-hole-
be-used-to-travel-through-time/)
