PAllen said:I really don't see any basis to claim that you can't join two sections of spacetimes each globally hyperbolic in such a way that the result is not.
I'm not making this claim as a general claim; as a general claim it would be way too strong. I'm only making it in the specific case of Everett's construction.
PAllen said:Can you try to clarify why you think there should be a problem with Everett's construction?
I'm not saying there's a problem with the construction in itself. I'm questioning whether the construction Everett describes will actually contain CTCs. I need to go through the paper again and see if I can fill in the details he leaves out.
