I remember reading something about Stephen Hawking denying the fact you can't make CTC's (Closed Timelike CurvesClosed Timelike Curves) without the weak energy conditionweak energy condition violation. If this is true, where do the light cones point to in the T directon$t$ direction?

enter image description here

On the end of the right and left, the cone points up (future) but near the cylinder it tilts. In a region with negative energy density, do the cones tilt all the way to the -t$-t$ direction?

Does Negative Energy Densitynegative energy density (Weak Energy Condition Violationi.e. weak energy condition violation) Create Closed Timelike Curvescreate closed timelike curves?

Added picture and further clarifications from the comments
