Abstract
We study the use of dispersion relations, modified to violate causality, as a tool to limit a fundamental noncausal length. We find that unless the usual dispersion relations are found to be violated, noncausal dispersion relations give no new information. This means that the only presently believable limit on a noncausal length is given by dimensional analysis.Keywords
