Shortly afterwards, Mallett read HG Wells' THE TIME MACHINE and attempted to build his first time-machine in his basement in the hope of traveling back in time to save his father. Needless to say, the machine was a failure, but though he was disappointed, Mallett was not discouraged. In this remarkable autobiography (written with Bruce Henderson), Mallett describes his journey into the world of theoretical physics, and his unswerving goal to harness the illusive dimension of time. For years he kept the true purpose of his research a secret so as not to be labeled a crackpot, but in recent years he has published a number of papers that propose potential methods of using Einstein's theories to curve space time, and has once again begun the project he started so many years before: to build a time machine. minimize
