A Brief History of Time: And Other Essays 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z He claimed that space-time had an inbuilt tendency to expand, and this could be made to balance exactly the attraction of all the matter in the universe, so that a static universe would result. A Brief History of Time: And Other Essays 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z So the question is: if the universe starts out without the kind of curvature required for time travel, can we subsequently warp local regions of space-time sufficiently to allow it? A Brief History of Time: And Other Essays 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The idea of wormholes between different regions of space-time was not an invention of science fiction writers but came from a very respectable source. A Brief History of Time: And Other Essays 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z In this approach the particle is not supposed to have a single history or path in space-time, as it would in a classical, nonquantum theory.

Cat's Eye 1988-09-01T00:00:00Z All the matter in the star will be compressed into a region of zero volume, so the density of matter and the curvature of space-time become infinite. A Brief History of Time: And Other Essays 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z For instance, if a black hole is spinning or has an electric charge, mathematicians have calculated that the singularity is not a point—a pinpoint hole in space-time—but a ring. Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea 2000-02-07T00:00:00Z So one has a set of events, a region of space-time, from which it is not possible to escape to reach a distant observer. A Brief History of Time: And Other Essays 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z But the rocket would remain in the same space-time and therefore the same history, which would have to be consistent.
