Time Travel, Black Holes, & Relativity: A Conversation With Dr. Ronald Mallett

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ronald Mallett, a Professor Emeritus of Physics in the Department of Physics at the University of Connecticut. As a theoretical physicist, academic professional, and author, Dr. Mallett’s research interests are fascinating: general relativity and gravitation, black holes, relativistic astrophysics, and quantum cosmology…

Dr. Mallett earned his Ph.D. in physics from Pennsylvania State University, where he was honored with the Graduate Assistant Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1975. A distinguished physicist, he is a member of both the American Physical Society and the National Society of Black Physicists. In recognition of his contributions to science, he was named an honorary member of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2005.

Dive in to find out:

• The difference between special and general relativity.

• Whether time travel might one day move from science fiction to reality.

• The relationship between time and movement.
