CNN: Dr. Ronald Mallett's Time Travel Machine

They are currently among the greats of science, innovation, initiative and adventure: Stephen Hawking, John Archibald Wheeler, Lawrence Krauss, Michio Kaku, Tim Berners-Lee, Robert Cailliau, Bill Gates, Richard Branson. And perhaps, before long, the name of Ronald Mallett will be added to that list of modern day pathfinders and pioneers. Mallett, a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Connecticut, has been working on a time travel machine. The American physicist's invention would use a ring laser and Einstein's theory of general relativity. It would manipulate past, present and future by twisting Space and, along with it, Time into a loop. Imagine conquering the virgin frontier of Time like conquering the Atlantic or the Galactic. Reaching the distant shores of the past as the first European explorers reached the distant shores of America. But human travel through Time is probably a long way away. First things first. Dr. Mallet and his fellow scientists must first perform their historic experiment, and they are currently trying to raise $250,000 to do just that. The Univ. of Connecticut Foundation, a nonprofit agency responsible for managing funding, has opened an account for donations to Prof. Mallett's time travel research. The official name of this scientific program is "The Space-Time Twisting by Light Project".

cant wait till the first time comes!

[stikowsky]

that time machine ought to be finished by now?

@martystreets I know many peoples which R good in school with ratings, but they R not understand many things. And many physics dont understand, what is time. Time is only one way how brain understand reality, but time dont exists real. Time is only little help, how we can measure the motion of particles.

Why hasn't he been able to build his machine? I think he's blowing the money on coffee.

[martystreets]

@1okaty i wouldnt say just Movement. we dont have a whole understanding but we do have somewhat of understanding. i wouldnt say his iq is low phd in physics isnt easy my man

[KazukoStarz]

Time travelling sounds so fictional.

[Chordscratch]

@AlexGRFan97 What about alternativ---

Nevermind. All you morons don't even have imagination.

[bluereaper75]

Wanted: somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

[checkmate440]

My therory is UFO's are time travelers.

[ES992]

For all we know, time travel has been discovered, people screwed with it and changed history, then some rebellion stole it and fixed history to how it was, and destroyed the time machine. And we wouldn't have even known a thing.

Prof. Mallett needs to take it easy on the java.
