Equation to Build Time Machine Cracked, Claims US Astrophysicist!

Ronald Mallett, Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Connecticut in the US, has claimed to have discovered the equation for time travel, reported Earth.com.

From childhood, Mallett was hooked to the thought of time travel as his father died when he was only 10. He decided to research on time travel as his life’s mission. He was also motivated by H.G. Wells’ sci-fi classic ‘The Time Machine.’

The professor spent his career investigating Albert Einstein’s theories of black holes and general relativity. His moment of inspiration came while he hospitalized for cardiac problem. He came to the conclusion that black holes can create a gravitational field that could lead to the creation of time loops that could allow us to go back in time.

His vision for a time machine centres on what he calls “an intense and continuous rotating beam of light” to manipulate gravity. His device would use a ring of lasers to mimic the spacetime-distorting effects of a black hole.

In Einstein’s theory, space and time are related to each other. That’s why it’s called space-time. So when the black hole spins, it will cause time to shift.

But according to him, “galactic amounts of energy” would be needed to produce his time machine and didn’t know how big this “time machine” would have to be to make it work. “I figured out how to do it. In theory, it is possible,” he said.
