Time Machine at the LHC | | I.Ya. Aref'eva

15 Oct 2007 | | Abstract: | Recently, black hole and brane production at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) has been widely discussed. We argue that if the scale of quantum gravity
is of the order of few TeVs, proton-proton collisions at the LHC could lead to
the formation of time machines (spacetime regions with closed timelike curves).
One model for the time machine is a traversable wormhole. We argue that the
traversable wormhole production cross section at the LHC is of the same order
as the cross section for the black hole production. Traversable wormholes
assume violation of the null energy condition (NEC) and an exotic matter
similar to the dark energy is required. Decay of the wormholes/time machines
and signatures of time machine events at the LHC are discussed. | | Source: | arXiv, 0710.2696 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
