Popis: We present a global metric describing closed timelike curves embedded in Minkowski spacetime. Physically, the metric represents an Alcubierre warp drive on a rotating platform. The physical realizability of such a metric is uncertain due to the exotic matter required to produce it. Never-the-less we suggest that this metric will have applications in more rigorously studying the behavior of quantum fields interacting with closed timelike curves.
