Time orientability. What it is and why it is important.
Mark Hadley (Warwick)
Abstract: I will explain what the orientability of time is, in particular a space time that is not time orientable. In principle this can explain the quantum world. It allows topology change in general relativity. I will show space time structure with net electric charge from the source free Maxwell equations. And the strange property for spin half arises naturally in particle models that are not time orientable. I’ll conclude by describing a definitive test of time non orientability – with a positive result.
