...obvious partisan trashing of Governor Palin by so many of my fellow women. Their intemperate critiques fly in the face of the feminist principles they claim to uphold. Gibbs has the good sense to realize that the issues successful women face are the same regardless of political ideology. Jeanne Mallett, WASHINGTON...
...People are just more willing to spend this year,” said Sara Mallett, clothing manager of City Sports...
...Mallett: I am a theoretical physicist, but an experimental colleague and I are working together currently. We are using photonic crystals, which is cutting new technology, that trap light. The crystals allow us to study the possibility of time travel first at the subatomic level, which uses less energy. Right now the experimenting is slow-going because I am teaching full-time but the experiment idea is itself very well developed. We are hoping to get funding this fall after working extensively on it once classes end. I think the government will be very interested in our work for larger...
...Mallett: Most of my papers are on black holes and cosmology, but time travel has been my main research area since 1998. Before that, I was afraid my colleagues would think I was out to lunch. What got me to come out in the open was meeting Fred Adams, an astrophysicist at University of Michigan who was writing a popular book and encouraged me to do the same about time travel. As I researched for that book, I discovered dozens of papers written by colleagues at Princeton, Caltech and elsewhere. This made me more comfortable to pursue my research...
...Mallett: Oh, no! One should never take oneself too seriously. Sometimes it is necessary to keep things lighter. For instance, in my presentation at the Boston Museum of Science last week I used cartoons to lighten things up. What is important to understand, however, is that when time travel does happen there will have to be strict government regulation. Everything has a good and a negative side to it. Even your car—it’s great to have it, but it could be used to run someone over. So, ultimately there will be things like Timecops...
