Domain-specific¶
- Ontological Paradox
- Physics of closed timelike curves — the loops Gödel's rotating universe and Morris–Thorne wormhole geometries permit, where Novikov self-consistency forbids the self-undermining grandfather form while allowing the self-enabling bootstrap form.
This sourceThe argument that a maintainable traversable wormhole can be converted into a time machine, making causality violable.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
