Is time travel possible? NASA ambassador delivers free presentation to Staten Island families
Harold Kozak, a former college professor and a NASA/JPL solar system ambassador, delivered a cost-free, engaging lecture. Kozak simplified and explained the science of various topics ranging from wormholes to the well-known equation E=mc². Those interested in hearing Kozak live and learning a thing or two about the life and death of stars are invited to attend his next presentation at Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve on Aug. 13 at 7:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, but donations can be made at www.nasa.gov/jpl.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Imaginative minds have long pondered the possibility of time travel, but is it all just wishful thinking or is there any scientific evidence that mankind could travel into the future?
It’s that curiosity that drove over two dozen guests of all ages to Clay Pit Ponds State Park Preserve in Charleston on Wednesday evening for a special presentation.
There, Harold Kozak, a former college professor and a NASA/JPL solar system ambassador, delivered a cost-free, engaging lecture.
Children and their parents alike watched as Kozak explained that theoretically, yes, travel into the future may someday be feasible.

In serving as “Einstein’s translator,” Kozak simplified and explained the science of various topics ranging from wormholes to the well-known equation E=mc².
The retired adjunct professor of astronomy at Wagner College passionately delivered his presentation and was visibly pleased when attendees asked questions seeking to learn more about the subject matter.
“Honestly, I usually take my kids during the summertime here for different kinds of programs. So I saw this program and I thought they were going to be interested,” Iryna Rozdolsky, a resident of Eltingville, said.
Volodymyr Rozdolsky said the family had a good time and that the couple enjoyed themselves just as much as the kids.
“Actually, it was a friend who told me about it (Kozak’s presentations),” Rian Silverman, a resident of Tottenville, said. “And I came to his last lecture and my mind was blown. I just always loved science and I really want my son to be inspired and to learn it in a way that is interesting and accessible. He (Kozak) does a wonderful job of that.”
At the end of the presentation, children were gifted official souvenirs from NASA and parents were invited to help themselves to a free science or science-fiction book.
