Beschreibung
Ron Mallett was just 10 when his father died suddenly. Devastated he found solace in the science fiction of H.G. Wells believing that if he could build a time machine he could go back into the past warn his father and perhaps save his life.
Ronald Mallett is now a professor of theoretical physics. Remarkably this working-class African American boy from the Bronx stuck with his vision overcoming poverty and prejudice in the pursuit of his obsession. This is the story of his extraordinary journey of self- and scientific discovery. With simple language and elegant metaphor he lays out his theories and presents the reader with what is an actual blue print for a time machine.A dramatic and compelling memoir it is also a brilliant introduction to a riveting but generally baffling subject and a truly inspirational account of astonishing achievement.
