This is the dramatic and inspirational first-person story of theoretical physicist Dr. Ronald Mallett, who recently discovered the basic equations for a working time machine that he believes can be used as a transport vehicle to the past. Combining elements of Rocket Boys and Elegant Universe, Time Traveler follows Mallett's discovery of Einstein's work on space-time, his study of Godel's work on a solution of Einstein's equation that might allow for time travel.

Thoughts shape Beliefs, which influence DecisionsI have always been a curious kid. I wanted to believe what I learned. But I got tired of not getting straight answers to some of the Big Questions of Life. My quest led me to earn an interdisciplinary PhD in paleoanthropology, neuroscience and theology.As a boots-on-the-ground field explorer to over 100 countries, I seek first-hand confirmation to check the facts of truth claims and to verify evidence for my own inherited beliefs.I will share insights drawn from over 30 years of interdisciplinary scholarship and ...

Tušíte, jak rychle snese kukačka vejce do cizího hnízda, kolik toho máme společného s neandrtálci nebo co by se stalo, kdyby z ničeho nic zmizel Měsíc?
