I heard a 'This American Life' piece on a UConn professor who is trying to make a device for time travel (see: second act):

Since you may not have time to listen to it, I'll tell you that he was very close to his father who died when he was 10 years old. Since then, he's been consumed by the idea of discovering a way to travel through time so he could see his dad again. I wish I could tell you that he's in a parallel time/universe hanging out with his dad right now but he hasn't quite pulled it off yet. It does have a happy ending though if you can wriggle your way out from under the world's weight in wistfulness.
