Given the fact that data is an electric circuit of ones and zeros, flowing at the speed of light, could we technically send information across time?

We already do, I send a packet of data and some time in the future it arrives, it's called latency.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
