I don't know anything about this project, but I understand that
Columbia University is trying to build a time machine, of sorts.
Probably it will have the restriction that it will only transport
photons, and not to anytime before the machine was created, or
after it was turned off. But photons are enough to allow
messaging. (These details are added by me, in my ignorance. Don't
attribute them to the project.)
Sorry, I don't remember what the project is called. It has to do
with counter-rotating beams of photons that have been slowed to
less than 30 mph, using bose-concentrates.
Chance for success? Well, they aren't counting on it, but building
it is the only way they can think of to disprove a line of
mathematics in physics theory. And, who knows, it might work.
