[edit] Time travel via Krasnikov tubes
What prevents time travel or round-trip FTL in the situation where you have two parallel tubes pointing in opposite directions? --Christopher Thomas 20:03, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The events are always timelike ordered. Although the proof isn't quite explicit yet for two parellel tubes. --Son Goku 07:59, 22 June 2005 (UCT)
It would be handy if the constraints that force this to be the case were made clear in the article. At present, the justification seems to assume that only one tube exists. As long as the tubes remain in place over time, it's difficult to see how you'd prevent time travel with two that ran in opposite directions with the description that's currently present. --Christopher Thomas 15:10, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Adjustments have been made. Is the article clear enough or still too technical for the average reader?--Son Goku 22:55, 22 June 2005 (UCT)
- The "causality violations" section makes things much clearer, thanks. The only extra information that would be handy would be a "references" section with links to the papers by Krasnikov, Everett, and Roman. --Christopher Thomas 22:25, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
