A young orphan named Ron Larsen is unconcerned about his life's purpose. He plays chess because he loves it and the little money he can make from it. He became involved with Northern University physics professor Regina Russo. Regina ended up being his mentor and supporter. He majored in mathematics, and she paid for his schooling. Regina did, however, require him to receive distinction in all of his classes. Later, Regina and Ron took part in a risky research experiment that put the FBI on their trail. What scientific concept are they testing? Will the experiment be successful? Learn more by reading this book.
 
Time travel and quantum physics are explored in the science fiction novel Timewise by Robert Leet. Readers will have the opportunity to engage with the several sciences covered in this book, encompassing a thorough investigation of quantum theories, predictions, and semantics. In the first-person narrative of the story, we follow the protagonist's life as he grows from a boy to a man. In Ron's life, Regina has a significant impact. She shares with him the concepts behind her experimental physics theories, which are based on the idea that time is created by awareness. As they delved deeper into various scientific investigations, it became increasingly risky that, in the wrong hands, they would alter the course of history.
 
The novel seemed realistic, despite being about science. A few of the story's incidents are connected to current occurrences in our world. The book was easy for me to read because the science jargon was simplified for easy comprehension for someone without a background in science. The book changed from a narrative to a thriller as the FBI sought Ron and Regina out for their risky experiments that could endanger civilization. I find it interesting to consider the physics of time and the nature of awareness. The importance of time can be thought about and understood. My understanding of quantum physics and how it impacts the world increased as a result of the book. The author did a fantastic job of making this work of fiction plausible, and I was completely hooked on the idea of time travel.
 
The illustrations in the book that helped me understand and better envision the author's concept of quantum physics are what I liked most about it. I also appreciated the fact that the women in Ron's life were strong, self-reliant individuals. They were unaffected by his successes and had a significant influence on his life.
 
What I didn't like about the novel was how it dragged for the first hundred pages, making it tedious for me. The story's conclusion was another disappointment in the book. I wasn't happy with how it ended. I had hoped that the conclusion would include answers to some of my questions. As a result, I rate the book three out of four stars.
 
The book is exceptionally well edited. There were no errors in the book that I discovered. The characters were well-developed, which allowed me to easily connect with them. I recommend this book to science fiction and physics enthusiasts.

I have been pondering whether to read this book, but since it plays with quantum physics, I am not absolutely sure if I would enjoy it. This particular topic goes way over my head, but maybe, I'd be able to understand it better if I actually read this book. Be it as it may, other than that, this seems like an intriguing story.

Thank you for the lovely review!

I didn't really enjoy this, mostly for the reasons that you noted. I felt like Regina and Ron had a very strange ongoing relationship.

Thank you for the honest review! Science fiction is wonderful and it is good to hear that the science has been made easier so a wider reader base can enjoy. But, I think if the start lags and the end disappoints that this isn't the right book for me
