Within a year, inspired by a comic book based on \u201cThe Time Machine\u201d by H.G.

It will highlight Mallett\u2019s own current research and consider the problems and paradoxes of time travel.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen asked what kept him focused on his lifelong quest, Mallett explained, \u201cMy passionate desire to see my father again is what kept me primarily focused on my goal of understanding time travel. When I realized that time travel might be possible based on Einstein&#8217;s theories of relativity, I felt that this was a solid foundation. It was this foundation in Einstein&#8217;s work that gave me confidence in my theory.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMallett received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in physics from Pennsylvania State University. He worked at United Technologies from 1973\u201375 and in 1975 joined the physics faculty at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, where he is currently a research professor of physics.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMallett has published numerous papers on black holes and cosmology in professional journals. His breakthrough research on time travel has been featured extensively in media around the world. His primary research interests are black holes, general relativity and gravitation, relativistic astrophysics, quantum cosmology and time travel.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe lecture is part of Transylvania University\u2019s William R. Kenan Jr. Lecture Series and is funded by a grant from the William R. Kenan Jr. Charitable Trust.
