Time Travel: Why It May Not Pay to Work out All the Kinks.
Here, we hypothesize that a smooth nongeodesic closed timelike curve is never most efficient with respect to total acceleration if a kink is permitted at the initial (terminal) point. We support our hypothesis in a variety of ways. Most notably, we show Malament's opposing conjecture concerning Göde...
