The best way to store information long term would be to boomerang high powered radio waves around a black hole and wait for them to come back 100,000 years later.

This is why SETI should pay close attention to the black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Would this actually be possible? Radio waves are... waves, just like light is a wave, correct?

Can you gravitationally bend them enough so that they completely 'boomerang' as you put it, back to the source of origin?

Absolutely, just get it close enough to the event horizon. Plus it doesn't have to be an exact 180 since the planet will have moved along it's orbit.

I guarantee you this will work.

The signal will degrade so much it will be useless.

If you can only access your storage once every 100,000 years, it sucks.
