A D-Mail (short for DeLorean Mail) is a fictional concept from the anime and visual novel Steins;Gate.
In the context of Steins;Gate:
A D-Mail is a text message sent to the past, specifically to a mobile phone in the past. It is short for "DeLorean Mail," referencing the DeLorean time machine from Back to the Future. The idea is that by altering what a person knows in the past (via the message), the sender can change the course of events and create a new timeline.
Key Characteristics:
Sent through a modified microwave (a key part of the story's science-fiction twist).
Can change the worldline (timeline) depending on the content of the message.
Limited in size – only a small number of characters can be sent.
Creates a "Butterfly Effect" – small changes in the past can cause major changes in the present/future.
Example:
If someone sends a D-Mail to prevent an event (like telling their past self not to buy a lottery ticket), the future could change drastically based on that small action.
