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.

It allready exists when you look at the stars you are looking millions of years into the past as alot of the these stars no longer exist the light has taken that long to reach us and if time travel was truely possible we could only be observers as if it were a recording like watching home video for example and if it were possible to kill your grandfather you would not be affected as you would exist in a different time zone you just would not be born in that time zone thats how I see it
you got the right idea... but tell me this,,, if u already have been traveling through time,, future and past,, would u tell anybody? If u did they would not believe you and if you proved it until they believed you, they would tell others and someone will want in for their own greedy reasons, or whatever. Why tell when u (& other scientists or just me) could set up trans/receivers all during historic events & host historic tours (for lots of money of course)
if God let him make it.. If God lets somebody come back from the dead, then time travel seems kinda small compared to that,, Besides we have to have time travel.... We gotta go get JESUS so we can start this Armageddon thing.. it did say that he will return,, didn't say how or when (don't doubt it,,) (mental virus... just a thought but now u got it too, so think about it,,)
hey main! Cant we have a discussion without sinking to name calling? now I as a scientist use e=mc2 every day,, & only if u knew what I'm working on, u would see what i meant when once again I say (& can prove) that its not just about light nor matter, or e=mc2, but MOORE about what element can U control that can control these elements. Light & gravity are free & wild, yet when controlled, they (along with other elements) can send & receive matter.
but he said if we had advance tec we prob can go back b4 the machine was made he can have it so somebody from the future send him the machine but what would happen if he saved his father he is the reason he got into time travel so....... he never made the machine im confused
another thing is, if their theory proves right but also coinciding with my theory, then traveling through time would be simple. You would only be able to travel to the day that the machine was made, but traveling back to the time in which you traveled from would be more so like a hit and miss. time will go on and on and on... so, there is never really a stopping point.
I do think it is possible for time travel. But only time will tell.*
He doesn't state that gravity controls time. he simply states that gravity is an effect. But, without gravity, time would move very fast. Take a clock for instance; Use a timer here on earth, go to the moon and come back with a clock. The clock would be much faster due to the lack of gravity. That is a proven fact. So time travel would be unpredictable. which means, no control of a destination of time.
