Abstract
The authors propose a solution to the topological problems inherent in the evolution of a collapsing star from an initially regular state to a final state resembling the Kerr solution with a>m. The simplest scenario involves two fragments receding from each other with high relative velocity. In order to describe the situation, a precise definition is given of the concept of a time machine.Keywords
