Ronald L. Mallett, Ph.D. is a professor of physics in the University of Connecticut.
Mallett was born in Roaring Springs, Pennsylvania, on March 3, 1945. When he was a young boy, his father died of a massive heart attack at the age of 33. From that moment on, Mallet resolved his life dream to be traveling back in time to save his father. At age 25, in 1973, he received a Ph.D. from Penn State University. Also that year, he received the Graduate Assistant Award for Excellence in Teaching. In 1975, he was appointed a job at the University of Connecticut as an assistant professor, where he continues to work today.
In 1980, he was promoted to associate professor, and since 1987, he has been a professor. He has received two grants and many other distinctions.
He is a member of both the American Physical Society and the National Society of Black Physicists.
Fields of specialization and interest
Time machine project
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. He plans on testing it in the near future. In a recent paper by Ken D. Olum and Allen Everett [1] the authors claimed to have disproved Dr. Mallett's hypothesis yet Dr. Mallett maintains that this paper is founded on a physical misconception. A constraint is needed to confine the circulating light beam to a cylindrical path. This is taken into account in his paper as a geometrical constraint. Dr. Mallett has attempted to contact the authors about this misconception but so far they have not responded. In the meantime as of this entry in October 2005, funding is still being pursued in order to properly test Dr. Mallett's theories. He is also in the process of writing a book on Time Travel due for publication in the fall of 2006.
