... in the early ’60s, his father, Ray, an engineering professor at Ohio State University, began an obsessive theoretical quest to help mankind conquer the boundaries of time and space. “Using the formula I discovered,” he claims to this day, “you could reach the outer limits of the universe in less than a second.”

His greatest achievement, he says, is his Universal Equation, which promises to solve many of physics’ most intractable mysteries—a meta-theory that ties together black holes, quarks, and quantum mechanics into one all-encompassing package. With it, he says, gravity waves can transmit info at 16 times the speed of light—a potentially earth-shattering achievement that conventional science declares strictly impossible
