CLOSED TIMELIKE CURVES IN CLASSICAL RELATIVITY
Abstract
Spacetimes of general relativity containing closed timelike curves (CTC) are usually dismissed as non-physical. However, it is now known that CTC may appear in spacetimes modelling simple laboratory experiments, and two such experiments are described in this essay. We therefore need a realistic interpretation of CTC. I suggest that a region containing CTC may represent a new type of singularity, called a torsion singularity.

“The effect is that the non-factorized rotating C-metric will possess closed timelike curves in a neighborhood of the torsion singularities [341].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
