Dr. Ronald Mallett, professor of theoretical physics at the University of
Connecticut, is working on building a functional time machine, and he will present his work at UNCG on February 7 at 7:00 p.m. in the Elliot Auditorium.
Mallett, who was born in Roaring Springs, Pennsylvania, earned his B.S. (1969), M.S.
