"Time Travel" in the Godel Universe
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1984:91 - 100 (1984)
| Abstract | The paper first tries to explain how the possibility of "time travel" arises in the Godel universe. It then goes on to discuss a technical problem conerning minimal acceleration requirements for time travel. A theorem is stated and a conjecture posed. If the latter is correct, time travel can be ruled out as a practical possibility in the Godel universe. | |||||||||
