Time Traveler is the compelling and very human story of a man whose deep childhood trauma - the loss of his father at the age of ten - propelled him toward scientific achievement. As a boy, Ronald L. Mallett threw himself into a quest to find his own Holy Grail - a means to travel back in time and save his father from an untimely death. Remarkably, the working-class African-American boy from the Bronx stuck with this vision, struggling with poverty and prejudice to become one of America's first black PhDs in theoretical physics.
Mallett explains in simple language and elegant metaphors the physics that makes time travel possible, and lays out his theories and presents the reader with what is, according to New Scientist's respected editor and physicist Michael Brooks, an actual blueprint for a time machine.
