abstract
This is a brief survey of the current status of Stephen Hawking's ``chronology protection conjecture''. That is: ``Why does nature abhor a time machine?'' I'll discuss a few examples of spacetimes containing ``time machines'' (closed causal curves), the sorts of peculiarities that arise, and the reactions of the physics community. While pointing out other possibilities, this article concentrates on the possibility of ``chronology protection''. As Stephen puts it: ``It seems that there is a Chronology Protection Agency which prevents the appearance of closed timelike curves and so makes the universe safe for historians.''

An exact vacuum solution to Einstein's equations is constructed that forms closed timelike curves from regular asymptotically flat initial data respecting energy conditions.
A new metric-affine gravity toy model dynamically generates a global time function via projective invariance breaking to enforce stable causality, recovering mimetic gravity and yielding a broader dark sector.
The Ori and Ahmed CTC metrics remain exact solutions in the f(R, L_m, Φ, X) model f = R + L_m + (λ/2)X, with chronology-violating regions preserved and no enforced protection from the scalar degree of freedom.
