Yeah, I think I found the original source with a much more clickbait-y headline. I tried to come up with something that would pique curiosity — cuz it is interesting! — without being explicitly misleading. (The art of headline writing is fascinating and frustrating in that way). I was glad I found that video, cuz it really fleshed out the details in a practical way, I think.

I see there isn’t a direct link to the presentation Dr. Erik Lantz did on his paper, so here you go. It is queued to the end of the countdown (it was a live stream)… at about 50 minutes in he gets to the conclusion phase, where after a few minutes he takes questions… one of these being a question addressed above, that of causality. Much to my surprise, Dr. Erik Lentz at University of Gottingen turns out to be an American who grew up in the PNW. Anyway, this talk was a lot of fun.
There’s no demand that one solve a problem posed by a conjecture!
Generally the class of things that are ‘chronology protection’ seem less compelling to me than the energy conditions.
Apologies, my post was unclear on this- I didn’t mean the linked video here was subject to that problem, but just that the mainstream press is now going to pick it up and run their usual ridiculous “warp drive” and “invisibility cloak” headlines.
