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

About this book

This is the dramatic and inspirational first-person story of theoretical physicist Dr. Ronald Mallett who recently discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that he believes can be used as a transport vehicle to the past. Combining elements of Rocket Boys and Elegant Universe Time Traveler follows Malletts discovery of Einsteins work on space-time his study of Godels work on a solution of Einsteins equation that might allow for time travel and his own research in theoretical physics spanning thirty years that culminated in his recent discovery of the effects of circulating laser light and its application to time travel. The foundation for Malletts historic time-travel work is Einsteins theory of general relativity a sound platform for any physicist. Through his years of reading and studying Einstein Mallett became a buff well before he had any notion of the importance of the grand old relativists theories to his own career. One interesting subtext to the story is Malletts identification with and keen interest in Einstein. Mallett provides easy-to-understand explanations of the famous physicists seminal work.
