In my opinion, being one of the central characters, Regina's character development was somewhat lacking.The author has not revealed much about her past so that the reader will be able to get a sense of what her real character is.Then we could have given a more concrete answer for this question.However, considering what went through the story and what went through between Ron and Regina, I don't think it's a wast of time..theskillsgirl wrote: ↑01 Nov 2020, 17:57 Regina was obsessed with her theory, “awareness creates time.” She successfully proved that it did. But she never shared it with anyone but Ron. Did she waste her life? Did Ron waste his life being so infatuated with her?

I agree. The concept of love is that, in itself it's a reward.Shieldmaiden88 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2021, 12:58 Loving someone and investing in that relationship is not a waste. A person can only waste his or her life by being selfish and neglectful. Not sharing something dangerous outside a very close and trusting relationship is a wise decision, not a wasteful one.

I totally agree with you. At the end Regina has succeeded atleast to some extent. I also admire the base of their love, which will definitely last foreverReaderAisha2020 wrote: ↑26 Jan 2021, 13:28 I don't think Regina wasted her time. The ending seems to confirm her success in that area at least. Ron was learning from her and seems to take over from her, so although they bever develop their relationship into a romance it still demonstrates their deep love and how it was based upon knowledge and sharing, which seemed longer lasting

I would agree that the purpose of scientific research is to share and gain recognition typically. They both were afraid of who might do what with what they found. I guess I am not sure what their intentions were. If they were happy with their lives then they lived life to the fullest. It doesn't matter what the intention of science is at that point.HannahsReads wrote: ↑04 Nov 2020, 16:41 That's a really thought-provoking question. I suppose usually the purpose of scientific research is to share it and gain recognition and make the world better in some way. In that sense, Ron's quest was kind of circular; in a sense, he ended up with nothing, just how he started out. He gained a lot of secret knowledge, like a renaissance-era alchemist, but was he really happier in the end? I am not sure he ever truly found a life purpose for himself.
If Regina was unhappy the whole time because the scientific community did not know about what she had found, then I would say she had done herself a disservice.

The girl at the end of the novel is proof that their efforts did not go to waste.
