It's About Time
Science.
Beer.
What more could a girl want, really?
Well, maybe she could have her own time machine. Just a little one. And Dr. Ronald Mallet could build it for her.
Dr. Mallett is Professor of Physics at the University of Connecticut. While his research interests may seem pedestrian to some (general relativity? gravitation? black holes?), there's one subject that grabs even the most jaded person's attention: time travel.
Dr. Mallet is the author of the book Time Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality. According to a press release announcing Spike Lee's acquisition of film rights to the book, Time Traveler is "...the compelling and touching story of a man whose deep childhood trauma -- at age ten the sudden death of his father -- drove him on a quest to build a time machine in an attempt to go back in time to save his father."
Dr. Mallet believes he has discovered the basic equations for a working time machine, and is telling the world about it.
On November 4, Dr. Mallet will be at the Connecticut Science Center to discuss the scientific theory surrounding time travel and the transformation of his book into a Spike Lee film.

I've already been to the event and I've come back from the future to tell you that it's great.
I too am back from the future. Julie, I loved the dress that you wore to this. It went really well with the space geek theme. BTW, sorry for spilling the beer on you. But really, it makes us even for when you tripped over me at the 2011 New Year's Eve party.

Well, I won't tell anyone about the time you ran over that promising young candidate at the corner of Farmington and Flower. No one needs to know that you're responsible for Perez still being mayor in 2012.

Yeah, but you would have too if you saw what he was wearing! It's for the best. Men should never wear fishnet shirts. There's such a thing as being too truthful and letting everything hang out there.

OMG I love this! And since I don't live in CT you'll have to tell me all about it! Have you ever seen the movie "Somewhere in time?" I love the thought that all you have to do is suggest it to your mind and poof! You're there! I LOVE that movie!
