Ronald Mallett's Time travel fascination spans across books and films.
HG Wells' "The Time Machine" inspired astrophysicist professor Ron Mallet.
Mallet embarked on a quest to achieve time travel, creating an equation for it.
His fascination rooted in a traumatic childhood experience.
Professor Mallet's father, a TV repairman, passed away when he was ten.
Quote from "The Time Machine" inspired Mallet to understand time and travel back.
Mallet based his research on black holes and Einstein's theories of relativity.
Black holes have powerful gravity that pulls everything, even light.
Theory of relativity explains how speed affects mass, time, and space.
Mallet's time machine idea uses a rotating beam of light to manipulate gravity, mimicking black hole effects with a ring of lasers.
