Book Chapter
Austin, J. (2023). Localisation of Consciousness Applied to the Study of Anomalous Temporal Experiences. In Hidden Aspects of Time. Cambridge Scholars Publishing

Certain psi phenomena, in particular time-slips and scene changes, can be more clearly defined when placed in the context of modern physical theories. Any point of conscious contact is localised in an almost infinite-dimensional space of material con...

Do Causality Violations Initiating a Compactly Generated Cauchy Horizon Require Exotic Matter? (2023)
Book Chapter
Austin, J. (2023). Do Causality Violations Initiating a Compactly Generated Cauchy Horizon Require Exotic Matter?. In Hidden Aspects of Time. Cambridge Scholars Publishing

This short paper summarises the proof that a causality violation formed from a bounded region requires matter that violates the null energy condition. Therefore the answer to the question in the title is yes. This is one of the results on which Steph...
