Time Traveler: A Film & Conversation with Ronald Mallett

We're screening the documentary "How to Build a Time Machine," and hosting a talkback and book signing with physicist Dr. Ronald Mallett about the scientific possibility of time travel.
If you could travel through time, where — or when — would you go? Would you revisit a fond memory from your childhood? Catch a glimpse of the future? Or would you travel back in time and change something in your past, even if it changed who you are now?
"How to Build a Time Machine" follows two men, both of whom have set out on a quest to build their own time machines. Rob Niosi is a stop motion animator who has spent the last eleven years constructing a full-scale replica of the time machine prop from the 1960 film adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novella, "The Time Machine". Ron Mallett is a physicist from the University of Connecticut who was also inspired by H.G. Wells’ story. However, Ron’s machine isn’t a replica. Dr. Mallett believes he has figured out how to build a real, working time machine. Post-film discussion and book signing with Dr. Ron Mallett follows screening.
