Background

Dr. Mallett is currently Professor of Physics at the the University of Connecticut, Storrs.  He has been a Science Advisor and member of the Board of Trustees of Talcott Mountain Science Center, and a Research Scientist at the United Technologies Research Center. 

His childhood experiences have been an inspiration for his theoretical work in the area of time travel.  Dr. Mallett weaves together an everyday understanding of the workings of the universe with high-tech theories and amazing possibilities of using the wonders of physics to unweave the fabric of space and time.  His story has been optioned by producer and director Spike Lee for a major motion picture!
