An article on Ronald Mallett recently caught my eye, as it was suggested that he was on his way to making the worlds first time machine. I obviously read on to find that he was an american professor of physics who has wanted to make a time machine since his farther died of a heart attack when he was aged 10. I have a vague understanding of what he is getting at. In order to travel in time you need to travel faster than the speed of light, Mallett thinks he can achive this by circulating a laser beam thats temperature is hotter than the sun. By doing this he thinks that this will spin space (and time). By dropping and object into this swirling space he things he will be able to send messages back in time to the point where the time machine is switched on.
I want to do a little more research into the area as there are many theorys about the subject and theres is a number of possibilites to develop for a magazine.

it’s not definately possible, there is a bit of a buzz about it in the science world though. I doubt it’s possible with a person though, who knows?
