Time loop logic is a hypothetical system of computation that exploits the Novikov self-consistency principle. In this system the computer is able to send the result of a computation backwards through time and rely upon the self-consistency principle to force the sent result to be correct.

I've written about this before. Instantaneous data transfer with zero lag is theoretically possible through use of quantum entanglement. You can use this same technique to build a doomsday clock similar to the film "Tomorrowland".
