ok that would work. now what do we do if we can travel faster than light say through a worm hole. we'd have no way to receive those signals without waiting hundreds, thousands and maybe millions of years. that's just scifi hypothesis though. in reality we would probably be moving at or near light speed so your solution would actually work very well. i love bouncing shit like this around. good job wg. now all we have to do is wait on mr.rain cloud concrete to look over our thoughts and see if they pass his common sense test. yours probably will but he'll find something wrong with mine. here's an easy thought place one relay at the entrance to the wormhole and one at the exit matter is transferred through so would the radio waves from the relay. and this is an idea i am just pulling out of my ass but in relation to the theory of general relativity it might just work. *edited* for spelling

Why only use a temporary worm hole why not create a permanent wormhole? Back to the topic at hand then put a relay in the center of the worm hole? every time the wormhole opens the central one updates it's time automatically and then also send the same correction to the next relay. Or another possible answer to the wormhole is that the computer would log the time of the last passed relay and then extrapolate the distance based upon the relay's location to the worm hole and then the time to transverse the wormhole and extrapolate from there the current time on earth in relation to the last known good relay.

well its been said that an always open worm hole could cause black holes to form rather quickly. since worm holes are just an opening between point a and point b there would not be a middle to place a relay.
even worm holes they speculate open by natural means only do so for short periods of time. which is the crux of trying to find natural ones.

Hmm that's a tough cookie to crack.... give me some time I'll probably think of something.

I just realized I have an easy answer to the wormhole problem At the exact second the ship passes through the worm hole use the ship as a transmitter from the relay on the earth side of the wormhole then the updated time would be sent through to the next relay station.
