Sorry to interrupt, but our fundraiser won't last long This Monday, we ask you to join the 2% of readers who give. If everyone reading this right now gave just $2.75, we'd hit our goal in a couple of hours. $2.75 is all we ask. GIVE $2.75 MAYBE LATER Proud host of Wikipedia and its sister sites A Tipler cylinder, also called a Tipler time machine, is a hypothetical object theorized to be a potential mode of time travel—although results have shown that a Tipler cylinder could only allow time travel if its length were infinite or with the existence of negative energy. The Tipler cylinder was discovered as a solution to the equations of general relativity by Willem Jacob van Stockum[1] in 1936 and Kornel Lanczos[2] in 1924, but not recognized as allowing closed timelike curves[3] until an analysis by Frank Tipler[4] in 1974. Tipler showed in his 1974 paper, "Rotating Cylinders and the Possibility of Global Causality Violation" that in a spacetime containing a "...sufficiently large rotati
