Time Loop from an Empty Universe ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Closed Timelike Curves from a Vacuum Traveling Wave"
Physicists built a model where closed time-like trajectories emerge from ordinary vacuum—without exotic matter.

In the new model of empty space, a gravitational wave twists time into a loop. A particle inside it returns to the past. This isn't science fiction—it's an exact solution to Einstein's equations. Perhaps the universe hides pockets of closed time, and one day we'll learn to open them.
🎯 If you ended up inside such a loop, you'd be forced to relive the same events over and over—like in 'Groundhog Day,' but with no chance of escape.
🎬 The idea recalls 'Interstellar': the heroes there also use curved spacetime as a portal to the past.
