Dr. Ronald L. Mallett, an African American physicist, will talk about his theory of time travel and his attempt to build a time machine at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, in Elliott University Center Auditorium.

When Mallett was 10, his father died of a heart attack. He read H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” a few months later and dreamed that time travel would allow him to see his father again.

He received his B.S. in 1969, his M.S. in 1970, and his Ph.D. in 1973, all in physics and all from the Pennsylvania State University.

In 1975, he joined the University of Connecticut at Storrs, where he has been a professor of theoretical physics ever since. He has published numerous papers on black holes and relativistic cosmology in professional journals.

His recent work on time travel has been featured extensively in the media, including New Scientist, the Village Voice, the Boston Globe, Rolling Stone magazine, Pravda (Moscow), The Wall Street Journal, Astronomy Magazine, Japanese television, German television, The Learning Channel, the Science Channel and numerous radio stations.

A memoir about his life as a minority scientist and his original contribution to the science and engineering of time machines is due in bookstores this fall.

This event is co-sponsored by the African American Studies Program and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. For more information on Mallett’s presentation, contact Michael Cauthen in the African American Studies Program at 336-334-4494 or mdcauthe@uncg.edu, or Dr. Steve Danford, head of the physics and astronomy department, at 336-334-3308 or danford@uncg.edu.

It sounds like he has issues.

[John Titor]

I bet you do too.

[Emily]

Yes, and that's why no one listens to me when I start talking about time travel as if it were possible.

12 words too many at the end of that sentence.

I wanna go just so I can be the smartass who, at the end of the lecture, is seen walking out of the auditorium muttering to himself, "Now there's two hours of my life I'll never get back.

"Unless..."

Again for the intelligent-but-focused-on-something-else-people around here, let's do note that we all travel through time at the rate of one second per second. Captain Nemo probably does it at the rate of one tenth of a second per tenth of a second, and I refuse to speculate on how fast four sigma does it.

Keep using that one. If you travel far enough in time in might be funny.
Somehow I doubt it.
