Synopsis

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 Mallett's discovery of Einstein's work on space-time, his study of Godel's work on a solution of Einstein's 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 Mallett's historic time-travel work is Einstein's 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 relativist's theories to his own career. One interesting subtext to the story is Mallett's identification with, and keen interest in, Einstein. Mallett provides easy-to-understand explanations of the famous physicist's seminal work.

About Dr. Ronald L. Mallett

Dr. Ronald L. Mallett served in the US Air Force for four years. He received his BS in physics in 1969, MS in 1970, and PhD in physics in 1973, all from Pennsylvania State University. In 1975 he joined the faculty at the University of Connecticut, where he is a professor of theoretical physics. He has published many papers on theoretical physics in professional journals. His time travel research has been featured in an hour-long TV special, "The World's First Time Machine," as well as publications as diverse as the Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, New Scientist, the Village Voice, the Boston Globe and Pravda.


Reviews

Goodreads review by Chris

There are a lot of reasons to want to build a time machine. To learn the truth about historical places and events, to see creatures that have been extinct for millions of years, to kill Hitler - always a favorite. You could go to the Library of Alexandria and save the works of great scientists and p......more

Goodreads review by Paula

Understanding time travel was always such a dense mystery to me, but Mallett is highly skilled in how he explains it for the ordinary person. I'm a writer of supernatural mysteries and do not have a mind for math, physics, or electrical technology at all. After reading Time Traveler, I have a much c......more

Goodreads review by Jack

I love this guy. Ronald has the entirely unreasonable goal of making time travel a reality, so that he can go back and see his Dad one more time. As one of the world's leading physicists, he also has the intellectual knowledge to help make this a reality. I found his story to be honest, heartwarming......more
