Theory Briefing

  • UConn physicist Dr. Ronald Mallett argues Einstein's theories of relativity provide a legitimate scientific basis for time travel.
  • Einstein's special relativity shows time moves slower at high speeds — a proven effect that underlies Mallett's time-machine concept.
  • Mallett proposes using circulating laser light to warp spacetime, a direct extension of Einstein's general relativity field equations.
