Must Time Machine Be Unstable against Vacuum Fluctuations?

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

In the appearance of absorption material, the quantum vacuum fluctuations of all kinds of fields may be smoothed out and the spacetime with time machine may be stable against vacuum fluctuations. The chronology protection conjecture might break down, and the anti-chronology protection conjecture might hold: There is no law of physics preventing the appearance of closed timelike curves.
