Time Traveler:
A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality

Ronald Mallett
Professor of Theoretical Physics
University of Connecticut 

Can a circulating beam of light make time travel a reality by dragging time into a closed loop? Theoretical physicist Ronald Mallett thinks it can. Working with Einstein's theories of relativity and space-time, he has discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that may make time travel possible. (It's being hailed as a plausible path to time travel, in our lifetime.) Mallett has appeared on This American Life and on TLC's The World's First Time Machine, and his book Time Traveler, a sort of Elegant Universe-meets-H.G. Wells, has the scientific community -- and the general public -- abuzz with renewed interest and serious debate.
