U. Connecticut professor works on time machine

[Cagey]

Mallett. The perfect name for this guy.

[Cagey]

See if you can borrow this thing from your fellow Professor. I'll see you in 1964.

[Wolfie]

"I wonder if the people of the future will use time travel to alter their past, our present."

Nice of him to prove his theory won't work.

[Jack Wilson]

What if he goes back in time and gets killed? How will he invent his time machine?

[goldstategop]

You think if we had Gary Hobson and his cat around on Sept. 10th the next day's events might have been averted? Its worth a thought.

[surfer]

Everything as we know it will change...we really know nothing about science...there is a ton of worthless knowledge on the planet and yet there is very little wisdom.

I hope this guy does it...that ought to screw up a few things...

[hometoroost]

Steven Wright beat him to it. He said "I made instant coffee in the microwave, I think I went backwards in time"

[jerod]

W A C K - O!!!

[Cagey]

HAhahaha! So true.

S W is my favorite comedian. Another one in the same vein. "I bought some powdered water, but I don't know what to add to it."

[neutrino]

Well, actually, this could have some interesting implications. Probably only at the quantum level, but even then it might be possible to send a signal. Wouldn't it be nice to know how a battle turned out...before you committed forces?

[surfer]

One time when I was traveling at the speed of light, I turned my headlights on...I still don't know what happened...next thing I knew Clinton(i) was the POTUS.

If this thing works, I'm stealing it and going back in time to the back seat of an old Ford where Virgina Kelley got knocked up. I'll see that this tragic act is stopped.

[Cagey]

But look at all the song parodies you'd never get to write, Doug. And you'd never be famous! Let the act in the back of that Ford go on. It woke us all up.

[Revolting cat!]

This is from the Weekly World News, isn't it? Whatever, as long as it works!

[aomagrat]

Time travel is impossible. If it were possible, someone in the future would have already invented it and come back to mess with us.

[PetroniDE]

Nice article, but science-fiction. Time travel is impossible. U of Connecticut should invest in something more feasible. Nice to dream though.

[Tai_Chung]

If he went back in time one day, would he be liable for an extra day of taxes?

[Cagey]

If it were possible, someone in the future would have already invented it and come back to mess with us.

You know, I didn't think this was possible until you mentioned that someone could come and mess with us.

[Constitution Day]

I think Prof. Mallett had one too many hits of acid.
