timeline

For my final project i chose to read the novel timeline by Michael Crichton. i thought this was a very good book both from a science and historian points of view. the science though it was differently exaggerated it still was rooted in science that is taking place right now. the science was really cool in how it dealt with quantum physics to make the characters travel back in time. how Crichton explains the use of quantum physics it is really good in that it lets the reader begin to understand quantum physics with confusing the reader with how complex quantum physics is. the historical part of the novel is accurate and also has some ideas that seem right. it is obvious the Crichton researched the time period greatly to make sure that it was correct and his character would fit in. also the areas do exists and there is ongoing research on them. the idea that the knight were still able to move in their armor and were really big men makes scenes over the smaller versions that are out there. the k\larger knights would have been able to fight and have armor but still be able to move around a defeat a quicker person. overall Timeline is a really good novel.
