The specific form of (Formula presented) chosen here has the minor drawback that the numerical value of (Formula presented) does not quite go exactly to zero at (Formula presented) (as it must by symmetry), although it does become very small. The resulting apparent “singularity” in (Formula presented) at (Formula presented) can be remedied by using a somewhat more cumbersome form of (Formula presented) with an additional term which has the effect of forcing (Formula presented) at (Formula presented). Since this added complication changes neither our results nor our conclusion, while tending to obscure the physical interpretation of (Formula presented), we have chosen to use the simpler form

The apparent singularity in (Formula presented) when (Formula presented) is related to the problem at (Formula presented) mentioned in the previous reference. It arises because for (Formula presented), we are evaluating (Formula presented) at (Formula presented)

From the results of Ref. 10, our conclusion will be the same if we construct the Krasnikov tube out of quantized massive scalar or electromagnetic fields.

We assumed for simplicity that the values of the (Formula presented)’s in all of the (Formula presented) functions were equal. Relaxation of this assumption would make the model more complicated but should not, we believe, change the essential result. That is, in the latter case as well, we expect that (although we have not proven it) at least one of the (Formula presented)’s appearing in the expression for (Formula presented) will be constrained by the quantum inequality to be exceedingly small

Of course the total energy (matter plus gravitational) of the Krasnikov tube, as measured by observers at infinity, is zero since the external metric is Minkowskian
