I highly recommend the book, and not just for time-travel information.
There is lots of interesting stuff in the book.

|
| Today I received an announcement of a local (on-campus)
| appearance of a presentation called The Science of Time
| Travel by Dr. Ron Mallett. Part of the description is:
|
| "Time travel has always been more science fiction than actual science.
| This may soon change. Dr. Ronald Mallett, author of Time
| Traveler, recently discovered the basic equations that he
| believes can be used to travel in time.
|
| Come and listen to Dr. Mallet as he discusses his latest book, Time
| Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel
| a Reality.
| With his own groundbreaking research in theoretical physics
| spanning thirty years, Dr. Mallet has culminated in his
| discovery of the effects of circulating laser light, which he
| believes drags time into a closed loop."
|
| Is anyone familiar with this particular presentation, the
| speaker, or the validity of the physics referred to?
| (Students will probably be asking me how legitimate this is.)
