Ronald Lawrence "Ron" Mallett (born March 3, 1945) is an American theoretical physicist, academic, and author. He has been a faculty member of the University of Connecticut since 1975 and is best known for his scientific position on the possibility of time travel..
Mallett was born in Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania, on March 30, 1945 and grew up in The Bronx in New York City, New York. When he was 10 years old, his father died at age 33 of a heart attack. Inspired by a Classics Illustrated comic book version of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, Mallett resolved to travel back in time to save his father. This idea became a lifelong obsession and the basis of his research into time travel. Mallett served in the United States Air Force for four years, during the Vietnam War, as military service would aid his educational pursuits.
People who have little knowledge about technology or keep touch on it ,have heard about the name of Time Machine. Jewish physicist called Albert Einstein blew the science community apart. Einstein showed that time and space were indeed different aspects of the same thing - a concept called spacetime - which is at the heart of how physicists understand the way the universe is. Mallett became obsessed with the German scientist - who had died in 1955, the same year as his father. Most importantly, Mallett realised - as Einstein had himself - that the new way of thinking about gravity, space and time contained in the physicist's Special and General theories of relativity meant that a time machine was at least possible in theory.

In 1973, when he was 28 years old, Mallett received a Ph.D. from Penn State University. Also that year, he received the Graduate Assistant Award for Excellence in Teaching. In 1975, Mallett was appointed a job as Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut, where he continues to work today. He was promoted to the rank of full professor in 1987 and has received multiple academic honors and distunctions. His research interests include black holes, general relativity, quantum cosmology, relativistic astrophysics and time travel
Mallett also wrote a book entitled, Time Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality, co-written with New York Times best-selling author Bruce B. Henderson, that was first published in 2006. In June 2008, motion picture director Spike Lee's production company announced it had acquired the film rights to Mallett's book. Lee is co-writing the movie script and directing the picture.Finally, Olum and Everett note a theorem proven by Stephen Hawking in a 1992 paper on the Chronology Protection Conjecture, which demonstrated that according to General Relativity it should be impossible to create closed timelike curves in any finite region that satisfies the weak energy condition, meaning that the region contains no exotic matter with negative energy.

In 2006, Mallett declared that time travel into the past would be possible within the 21st century and possibly within less than a decade. Mallett uses Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to attempt to substantiate his claims.
