Whiz, the Teenage Scientist, Amazing Journey in His Space-Time Elevator: The Pursuit of Precious.. Whiz's Pursuit of Precious, #1

Whiz is an eighteen-year-old college student in his second-year of college - and since he is English, college means the British college which means pre-university not American college which means post-university; anyway, in the year below him there is a young lady - actually she is sixteen years old because she is the youngest in her year - whose name is Precious; yet, although the youngest, Whiz believes she is the prettiest; Whiz is besottled by everything about her - when he gets to know her more from a distance, he becomes so infatuated that he makes his move.
One day he spills his heart to her, but Precious, unfortunately, rebuffs his advances, citing what she feels is a too big age-gap of two years between them. Discouraged but not beaten, Whiz turns to his passion of science to save the day. Whiz - being a scientist- albeit, a teenage scientist, he turns to science to find a way to bridge the two-year-age-gap between them. He knows that one of the Laws of Relativity - namely Time-dilation - if he can build a starship that can proceed at speeds which compete with the speed of light - at least going at 86% the speed of light - would cause the time on Earth - compared with his time in his starship - to go at 51% slower than Earth's, so that would mean a one year journey in space would be equivalent to two years for Precious on Earth: which Whiz believes would cause Precious' reason she rejected his advances to, hopefully, melt away! Whiz is convinced he has found a way in science to bridge that age-gap by building his own space-time-elevator he calls Quantumvator - which is actually a quantum-elevator which doesn't just go up and down but can go in any direction; and most excitingly, it can comptete with the speed of light! He does this by purchasing three state-of-art laser-guns which he believes he can use to shoot a beam of protons into atoms, namely into their subatomic electrons and the atom's nucleus, so he can extract their "quantum-superpowers".
