This isn?t Ron Mallett?s theory of matter; it?s Einstein?s theory of relativity. I?m not pulling things out of the known laws of physics.?
Alan Guth, a physics professor at MIT who has studied the theory of time machines, says he doesn?t think time travel is a possibility, ?Definitely not within our lifetimes.?
