On the Existence of “Time Machines” in General Relativity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2022
Abstract
Within the context of general relativity, we consider one definition of a “time machine” proposed by Earman, Smeenk, and Wüthrich. They conjecture that, under their definition, the class of time machine spacetimes is not empty. Here, we prove this conjecture.
