Abstract
The causality properties of space-time models with traversable wormholes are considered. It is shown that the relativity principle cannot be applied to the motion of the wormhole’s mouths in the outer space and the dynamical wormhole transformation into the time machine is impossible. The examples of both causal and noncausal space-time models with traversable wormholes are also considered. Some properties of space-time models with causality violation are briefly discussed.
