Phys. Rev. Lett. 37, 879–882 (1976)Causality Violation in Asymptotically Flat Space-TimesReceived 12 July 1976; published in the issue dated 4 October 1976 It is shown that a region containing closed timelike lines cannot evolve from regular initial data in a singularity-free asymptotically flat space-time. Furthermore, the causality assumption made in the black-hole uniqueness proofs is justified: It is demonstrated that no physically realistic nonsingular black hole can have a causality-violating exterior. © 1976 The American Physical Society URL:
