PODCAST TRANSCRIPTS Gabrielle Birchak I just finished editing this fantastic interview with Dr. Ronald Mallett, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Connecticut. This episode of Math Science History is all about exploring one of physics most daring frontiers, time travel. Dr. Mallett has spent a lifetime investigating whether light itself can twist space time enough to form loops
Time Travel Imagine stepping into a machine, an elaborate chamber of brass, gears, and humming coils. You sit down, pull a lever, and suddenly the world outside your window blurs. The clock on the wall no longer ticks in neat, familiar seconds. Instead, time itself bends and stretches like taffy. Days whirl past in moments, centuries collapse into a single

Imagine a place in the universe where time stops, where space folds into itself, and where not even light can escape. A place that devours everything, matter, radiation, even information. Now imagine the scientists who tried to explain it… and were laughed at, ignored, or
