On the Tension Between Chronology Protection and Classical Energy Conditions

1 min read

A concise note on how semiclassical effects soften classical chronology arguments.

Chronology Protection and Energy Conditions

Chronology protection can be viewed as a stability statement for causal structure.

Key thread

  • Classical energy conditions are often too rigid.
  • Semiclassical regimes suggest averaged constraints.
  • Backreaction may regulate chronology-violating geometries.

End of note.
