Alice in Quantumland is Robert Gilmore's amazing fantasy ride through the landscape of quantum physics - the interrelated group of theories on the nature of subatomic particles that modern scientists use to explain the physical universe. Through the allegory of Alice's adventures and encounters, Gilmore makes the essential features of the quantum world clear and accessible Alice in Quantumland is Robert Gilmore's amazing fantasy ride through the landscape of quantum physics - the interrelated group of theories on the nature of subatomic particles that modern scientists use to explain the physical universe. Through the allegory of Alice's adventures and encounters, Gilmore makes the essential features of the quantum world clear and accessible. It is a thrilling introduction to some essential, often difficult-to-grasp concepts about the world we inhabit. This book is a well written & straightforward allegory for an introduction to the basics of Quantum Physics/Mechanics. I think it's helpful to understand at least a little about the subject because if you're interested in books written about the Universe, different aspects of this topic tend to come up fairly often. It is very odd because of the way things work in such a counter-intuitive manner, yet experimentation agrees with it's predictions.

I think it's helpful to understand at least a little about the subject because if you're interested in books written about the Universe, different aspects of this topic tend to come up fairly often. It is very odd because of the way things work in such a counter-intuitive manner, yet experimentation agrees with it's predictions. It goes into protons, electrons, quarks, spin, Pauli Exclusion Principle, Heisenberg Uncertainty principle & much more. It explains these concepts in a very straightforward manner which is made very easy with the use of the allegory. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in the subject & needs a good starting point.
