Now who is the person to discover the tipler cylinder theory?
The Tipler cylinder was discovered as a solution to the equations of general relativity by Willem Jacob van Stockum in 1936 and Kornel Lanczos in 1924, but not recognized as allowing closed timelike curves until an analysis by Frank Tipler in 1974. Tipler showed in his 1974 paper, "Rotating Cylinders and the Possibility of Global Causality Violation" that in a spacetime containing a massive, infinitely long cylinderwhich was spinning along its longitudinal axis the cylinder should create a frame-dragging affect. This frame-dragging effect warps spacetime in such a way that the light conesof objects in the cylinder's proximity become tilted, so that part of the light cone then points backwards along the time axis on a space time diagram. Therefore, a space craveaccelerating sufficiently in the appropriate direction can travel backwards through time along a closed timeline curve or CTC.
