Abstract

The following mechanism of action of Time machine is considered. Let space-time <V4,gik><V^4, g_{ik}> be a leaf of a foliation F of codimension 1 in 5-dimensional Lorentz manifold <V5,GAB><V^5, G_{AB}>. If the Godbillon-Vey class GV(F)0GV(F) \neq 0 then the foliation F has resilient leaves. Let V4V^4 be a resilient leaf. Hence there exists an arbitrarily small neighborhood UaV5U_a \subset V^5 of the event aV4a \in V^4 such that UaV4U_a \cap V^4 consists of at least two connected components Ua1U_a^1 and Ua2U_a^2. Remove the four-dimensional balls BaUa1,BbUa2B_a\subset U_a^1, B_b\subset U_a^2, where an event bUa2b\in U_a^2, and join the boundaries of formed two holes by means of 4-dimensional cylinder. As result we have a four-dimensional wormhole C, which is a Time machine if b belongs to the past of event a. The past of a is lying arbitrarily nearly. The distant Past is more accessible than the near Past. It seems that real global space-time V^4 is a resilient one, i.e. is a resilient leaf of some foliation F. It follows from the conformal Kaluza-Klein theory that the movement to the Past through four-dimensional wormhole C along geodesic with respect to metric G_{AB} requires for time machine of large energy and electric charge.
