Mallett would pore over the works of Einstein and other great physicists, with little understanding of it at first, but as his studies continued he began to be able to follow more and more of it. We hear of how he climbed his way up the academic ladder, always looking to work in areas related to time travel, but keeping his ultimate ambition a secret. By 2002 however, he was ready to announce his ideas to a physics conference, and he has also been working on experiments to test them out. I don't know whether he'll succeed in building a time machine, but it's a fascinating story of how keeping hold of an early ambition lead to Mallett's academic success."; include "amazinf.php"; ?>
