World Exclusive video: Time Travel Scientist Dr. Ronald Mallett, History Channel

For quite some time, Ronald Mallett has been working on plans for a time machine. This machine uses a ring laser and the theory of relativity. Mallett first argued that the ring laser would produce a limited amount of frame-dragging which might be measured experimentally, saying: In Einstein's general theory of relativity, both matter and energy can create a gravitational field. This means that the energy of a light beam can produce a gravitational field. My current research considers both the weak and strong gravitational fields produced by a single continuously circulating unidirectional beam of light. In the weak gravitational field of a unidirectional ring laser, it is predicted that a spinning neutral particle, when placed in the ring, is dragged around by the resulting gravitational field.

In a later paper, he argued that at sufficient energies, the circulating laser might produce not just frame-dragging but also closed timelike curves, allowing time travel into the past: For the strong gravitational field of a circulating cylinder of light, I have found new exact solutions of the Einstein field equations for the exterior and interior gravitational fields of the light cylinder. The exterior gravitational field is shown to contain closed timelike lines. The presence of closed timelike lines indicates the possibility of time travel into the past. This creates the foundation for a time machine based on a circulating cylinder of light.

Funding for his program, now known as The Space-time Twisting by Light (STL) project, is progressing. Full details on the project, Mallett's theories, a list of upcoming public lectures and links to popular articles on his work can be found at the professor's UConn web page, and an illustration showing the concept on which Mallett has designed the time machine can be seen on a Geocities webpage.

He also wrote a book titled Time Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality, co-written with New York Times best-selling author Bruce B. Henderson, that was first published in 2006. In June 2008, motion picture director Spike Lee's production company announced it had acquired the film rights to Mallett's book. Lee is co-writing the movie script and directing the picture.

@77TREBLE I don't know how to select a time or destination. Unless it's as the man said "you can only travel to when and where the machine was first invented." If you have a theory pls feel free to share with me

@alexlancer11 No little fag chess player is good looking ..if you were good looking and not a looser you'd be on the cover of a magazin which your not.

[Dorisequador]

@alexlancer11 Einstein was wrong speed of light is a reflextion to the eye. Newton was right! He is factual where Einstein poor theory at times.

But open portals exist which i do not understand.

[alexlancer11]

@Dorisequador Wow you sound messed up perhaps I should have known. You never even got past college algebra I would bet. Any way I do not care if you believe me or not. Being smart is nothing great ,but I guess it is better then being dumb. Fortunately I am good looking , but it is often hard to relate to most people and it some ways I wish I was just an average joe. Then again perhaps not if it means being like you. LOL

@alexlancer11 What Gravity ? It's the pull of magnetic energy of the SUN!

It has a pull when there is no SUN there is no pull and everything dies around it eventually.

[alexlancer11]

@Dorisequador Relativity is not that hard to understand ,but it is often explained poorly or wrong. A Cornell grad told me he learned more about relativity from me in 10 minutes then the entire time he was at Cornell. I am sure he did too. First time I understood relativity was after studying "Infinity and the mind " by Rudy Rucker with thought experiments.It can be understood why the past and future always exists. This was the simple answer to the constant velocity of light.

@alexlancer11 I am also working on new ideas for unlimited power and electric car.

Almost ready i'll make you a video once i'm done.

Also I was a football player and could break you in two.. lol

[Dorisequador]

@alexlancer11 Love Chess ! Love |Pizza ! My family are inventors and represent sales of top military planes for sale to the USA.

I was also the top of my class in physics and chemistry.

[alexlancer11]

@Dorisequador Wow what a convincing argument for your point. LOL I guess we should just send you to MIT and put you in charge. You are a dumb moron. I like how you know nothing and talk like an authority. Doubt you even got past trig or calculus LOL. Your uneducated opinion is a joke like you. Not only am I one of the highest rated chess players int he country I was also a theoretical physics major? And I am even good looking ! What are you pizza boy ?

[Dorisequador]

@alexlancer11 Insult you can, but does it mean anything ? well just that your a dumb as they come right back at ya. So F U hahha

Einstein was and incredable man but he has theories not facts! He ended up killing alot of people with his ideas trying to make them work as where others have succeeded safely!

SO it he great well he's smart and opened a doorway to new ideas possible.But facts are fact you cannot go into the past and change what has happend! Never ever.

Time goes forward only
