 | | A time like curve is simply a space-time trajectory such that the speed of light is never equalled or exceeded along this trajectory. |
 | | If there were time-like curves which were closed (formed a loop), then travelling along such a curve one would never exceed the speed of light, and yet after a certain amount of (proper) time one would return to a point in space-time that one previously visited. |
