Time Traveler:
A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality

Ronald Mallett Professor of Theoretical Physics University of Connecticut

Can a circulating beam of light make time travel a reality by dragging time into a closed loop? Theoretical physicist Ronald Mallett thinks it can. Working with Einstein's theories of relativity and space-time, he has discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that may make time travel possible. (It's being hailed as a plausible path to time travel, in our lifetime.) Mallett has appeared on This American Life and on TLC's The World's First Time Machine, and his book Time Traveler, a sort of Elegant Universe-meets-H.G. Wells, has the scientific community -- and the general public -- abuzz with renewed interest and serious debate.

Machines that Tweet

Wade Patterson CEO, Board Chairman Synapse Wireless, Inc.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) wireless communication has reached a tipping point. With the cost of technology decreasing, the ease-of-use improving, and reliability increasing, billions of machines and sensors will be embedded with intelligence and networked wirelessly over the next few years. If you are not thinking about wireless networks and how they will transform your products, it is time to start.  Learn how modern wireless mesh networks are finally enabling M2M markets to explode – revolutionizing such applications as remote metering, vehicle tracking, building automation, asset management, energy and healthcare. Learn how straightforward it can be to add this type of intelligent network to your product.
