Time travel is one of mankind's favorite fantasies. But what if it were possible to build a real time machine? To travel into the future, or the past? Scientists are now teetering on making that impossible dream, reality. Ronald L. Mallett, PhD is a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Connecticut. He discovered a possible way to travel in time by applying Einstein's theory of relativity to laser light moving in a circle. The program uses CGI to illustrate his theories. Mallett was one of the first African-Americans to obtain a PhD in theoretical physics. He was inspired to do so because he wished to travel back in time to visit his dead father, who died when Mallett was ten.

The frame story deals with the elderly Dr Harshom in Herefordshire _ who has a very rare family name, all of whose bearers are in one way or another related and are in some contact with each other. In the early 1950s the Harshoms, scattered throughout England, are greatly mystified by the appearance of a young man named Colin Trafford, who systematically and persistently meets each and every one of them, asking of a young woman named Ottilie Harshom that none of the Harshoms ever heard of and who is evidently very important to him. Dr Harshom decides to talk to Trafford and understand what it is all about _ and the story consists mainly of what Trafford eventually tells. It turns out that Trafford is a physicist, and that he was involved in a laboratory experiment which went wrong, lost consciousness and woke up to find himself in a parallel universe. The three dramatisations are: ´ 1969: Episode Random Quest, in the third series of Out of the Unknown. The episode has been lost.[1] ´ 1971: Quest for Love, a British film directed by Ralph Thomas. ´ 2006: Random Quest, a BBC TV film adaptation broadcast on BBC Four in November 2006,[2] which changes the story so that history diverges around 1973 instead of 1928. The film stars Samuel West as Colin, Kate Ashfield as Ottilie and David Burke as Harshom.
