Ron Mallett’s Time-Travel Quest
June 18, 2009
Physicist Ronald Mallett ’69, ’70g, ’73g has been obsessed with the idea of time travel for decades. He kept the motivation behind his research a secret for many years—he wanted to go back in time to save the life of his father, who died when Mallett was only 10.
The opening spread of The Penn Stater's July/August feature about Ronald Mallett.
Nowadays, Mallett is getting a lot of publicity for his work on the physics of time travel, and his poignant life story. Spike Lee is working on a movie about him, and Good Morning, America, is scheduled to broadcast an interview with Mallett this Saturday. (The show airs on ABC from 8 to 9 a.m.)
In our July/August issue, look for Vicki Glembocki’s feature story about Mallett and the hopes that have driven and haunted him.
