No.

The fact is that we don't need to bounce "light beams" around in circles to warp space. We all warp space merely by being present in it. We therefore also warp time. Actually, a person who is engaging in very active mental processing warps time more than a sleeping person.

The point is that we are all time travelling all the time but the idea that we can transport ourselves into the future or the past is pure science fiction.

The relative effects of our time travelling as I've explained it are too subtle to apply in any practical sense. As is relativity overall. The effect on time that the onboard atomic clock of an orbiting GPS satellite experiences away from the pull of gravity and travelling at high velocity relative to a stationary one down here on Earth is about thirty eight millionths of a second per day. Mind you, it is enough to my mind that it is measurable, that it proves the theory of relativity to be not theory at all, but fact.

I would not extend Ronald Mallett funding for his experiment if I had any say, however.
