Ronald L. Mallett, a professor of physics at the University of Connecticut, claims to hold the key to going back to the future. Raised in New York and Pennsylvania, Mallett received his education at Pennsylvania State University and has taught and researched in Storrs, Conn., since 1975. Here, he takes FM for a little ride back in time in his own life as well as a look into what he hopes will come to fruition in the near future...
