Abstract
A geodesic in space-time is complete if it can be extended to infinite values of its affine parameter: it is shown that all strongly causal spaces are conformal to space-times in which all null geodesies are complete, and that a wide class of space-times are conformal to ones in which almost no null geodesies are complete.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
