We have a scene in a time-travel-themed TV pilot which speculates about travel to the past.

 

We're wondering whether it makes hypothetical sense to send a tiny device through a wormhole and have it hack into the senses of a person living in the past, then allowing those electrical signals in their brain to re-create the sights and sounds that person experienced in a person living in the present, through another hypothetical device.

 

This is inspired by the parasitic fungus that lodge in the brains of some ants and are able to control their minds. Additionally, the scenario explains that a person is unable to be sent back through this wormhole due to their sheer size but the show also attempts to satirise the current laws regarding literary works in the public domain (the life of the author plus 80 years). In this case, a person from the past is able to be hacked into if they have died at least 80 years ago. The future law dictates that the person from the past cannot be controlled, as this could alter the existing timeline, but what they see, hear and smell can be recreated in the mind of a person living in this future.

 

Wondering whether this makes sense within wormhole science? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
