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. 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. As the subtitle says, this is an allegory of quantum physics.

We find Alice on a dull, rainy day as she watches uninteresting TV programs which leads her to daydream about doing something interesting. As Alice continues watching the TV screen becomes fuzzy and she finds herself being pulled inside, tumbling headlong into a new world - a world where electrons always bounce and wiggle so that they can remain small, where rabbits run headlong at locked doors and pass through unharmed (eventually), As the subtitle says, this is an allegory of quantum physics.

This is Quantum World, the world that we live in, the world that would make our heads spin if we could see into the atom.

The book is full of 'color'ful and 'quark'y characters and was a lot of fun to read. I recommend it to imaginative science geeks. Dieci anni fa, da studente di seconda liceo, mi sono messo a leggere questo romanzo nella speranza di avere un'idea di cosa parlassero 'quelli che fanno scienza', come dice mia nonna. Il risultato e' che oggi, bene o male lavoro ogni giorno -da dottorando in nanotecnolgie farmaceutiche- su fisca e chimica quanistica, anche se in maniera molto superficiale.

Cosi', per omaggiare un libro che ha quasi segnato la mia vita scolastica ed universitaria, ho deciso di rileggerlo. L'ho trovato molto carino, ma estremamente ingenuo. La rilettura mi permette pero' di dire con certezza che l'esperimento di portare a tutti le basi e i nomi della meccanica quantistica e' perfettamente riuscito. That was a really cool ride(read.).! The topic being something of Himalayan proportions,the presentation was done in an interesting way.

At few places,I felt like I was reading Chinese but the rest was really interesting. The attempt to find humor in subatomic interactions is laudable. I especially liked the introduction of nucleus as the master behind everything,just like some underground mafia don. And Castle Rutherford and Mendeleev Pier,that was perfect. As a whole,this book is just Wow.!!

I went into this book under the impression that Robert Gilmore would use Alice as a medium to teach readers about quantum physics. I was hoping that this would read more like a novel, rather than a textbook.

The word 'allegory' is defined as 'expression by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions of truths or generalizations about human existence'. In 'Alice in Quantumland', our heroine goes from place to place, where she meets characters who give her actual lessons in quantum physics. 'Hello, I am an Electron. Let me tell you something about myself.' Begin lesson.

The 'narrative' is even interrupted by actual block-quotes which go deeper into the lessons, and also end-of-chapter notes for additional lesson-y stuff. Basically, add the sentence 'The Quantum Mechanic said:' before any quantum physics textbook and you get 'Alice in Quantumland'. Not exactly the allegory I was hoping for, honestly. Lesson after lesson after lesson dryly presented by so called characters such as the Photon, the Electron, the Classic Mechanic, the Quantum Mechanic', etc. I say, so called, because there are no actual literary characters in this work; there is no plot; there is nothing besides physics lessons. Granted, Gilmore does offer some neat scenes that do make some aspects of the whole quantum jumble more understandable to the average reader. It's not enough, however.

Myself, I do have an amateur interest for all this physics stuff, but still this book was pretty tedious to finish. It seems like a lot wasted potential, and that something really remarkable could've been done with this idea. To conclude, as Alice herself comments in the last line of the book: 'Boring.' Can't recommend it.

Colors are not colors and red has an anti-red - and both of them are not colors. Particles exist before they have been caused, and then travel back in time to collide with their respective anti-particles to die - causing the particles to appear like an anti-particles after the collisions for sometime. Words as unrelated as Up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm are types of properties of a particle. All you are left with is confusion.

It's confusing. Truly words do mean Colors are not colors and red has an anti-red - and both of them are not colors.

Truly words do mean what QM choses them to mean. How else can one describe QM? It can be described as in this book. Robert Gilmore does a wonderful job explaining basic quantum physics through Alice 's famous journey in wonderland in such an efficient way, even those with no theoretical background such as myself can grasp its basic principles, while also keeping the story itself fun and interesting.

I 'll definitely check this book again in the future. Full disclosure: I took two years of physics, one in high school and one in college, so none of the information was exactly new (though I haven't taken enough to comment on the correctness or datedness of the material). Even from this perspective, though, the book's greatest flaw is having little to no understanding of what kinds of illustrations readers might find useful.

Even from this perspective, though, the book's greatest flaw is having little to no understanding of what kinds of illustrations readers might find useful.

The story takes Alice, a late 20th-century schoolgirl, through several of the best-known thought experiments in quantum physics without benefit of diagrams or pictures. This is especially frustrating considering that there are about a dozen sketches of interesting-looking characters. Simple diagrams done in a different style, a la the chess problems in Through the Looking-Glass, would have been sufficient.

That said, this book is ambitious and in my opinion does fulfill its goals of providing a primer for a very unintuitive field. However, it does the legacy of Alice in Wonderland a disservice (which I haven't factored into my rating) in that it takes the Alice without providing a Wonderland. The Quantumland of the title is a string of loosely related scenarios from enthusiastic physics textbooks linked by in-story geographical location. The original Alice in Wonderland continues to captivate young readers 150 years after its publication because it is abstract enough in the presentation of adult ideas to provide an interesting world and an action-packed plot.

Kids can take the logic puzzles and symbolism at face value to enrich the story without becoming confused. Using the Alice framework to present an overt scientific lecture entirely misses the point. On the other hand, I can't think of a popular children's story that allows for antics as weird as those presented in this book. The generic kids-hanging-out science books I read as a child were boring, and it is a little more fun to think of the quantum mechanics thought constructs as the weird characters of Wonderland.

The 'allegory' part of the title is more accurate than it sounds: it's a sin in science to anthropomorphize too much because appending human motives and scenarios to non-sentient objects destroys the inhuman dynamics of reality. Bringing the electrons and photons to the forefront as characters seems too overt to fit the 'allegory' label, but I think it's necessary to draw kids' attention and is actually a deeper level of metaphor than it seems. The book's end-of-chapter notes may turn kids off with their wordiness, but I actually advise readers to skip them entirely and read the book with Wikipedia or Google close at hand. This phenomenal combination of familiar and complex concepts had one of the most remarkable formats that I have read.

I knew literally nothing about quantum physics before, (other than the name itself,) but now I have the ability to say that I can conceptualize portions of the basics. It was intriguing, which helped dim the confusing aspects of the entire book. I have my physics teacher to thank for lending me his book.

It was intriguing, which helped dim the confusing aspects of the entire book. I have my physics teacher to thank for lending me his book. I had never heard of this allegory before, and I don't think I ever would have come across it if he hadn't introduced me to it. Everyone who loves learning should read it. I know that I will probably never gain a deeper understanding of quantum physics, but that didn't change how fascinated I was with Quantumland. A love for learning will continue to grow when fed with knowledge.

This book was more proof that learning about complicated ideas can still be fun, even when you're struggling to fully comprehend them. The only reason I don't give this book a five-star rating is because of the lacking of clear descriptions. It was great for vague, general ideas. Examples and end-of-chapter notes were provided to help what was described.

I have no idea what else Robert Gilmore could have done to clarify for what was written about, so I blame my confusion solely on myself. Otherwise, I was impressed with his ability to incorporate two extremely different notions in such a manner. This is a very interesting book, although the complex theories can cause a dizzy feeling. The premise appears to be that if you're wanting to go to a restaurant in town, while you're taking one route, you're also taking every other route at the same time.

Then when you order from the menu, you're ordering not just one item but are also ordering everything else. Confusing, but fascinating.

The only reason I didn't rate the book a five-star is that I have heard that the equation used to prove quantum physics had to be changed by adding in a part that was incorrect. To me, this causes concern that the theories are still just that, theories, and shouldn't be taken as fact. At least, I'm certain that my high-school physics teacher would have marked such an equation incorrect if I had submitted it to her. Don 2 Dialogue Ringtone Mp3 Free Download.

One of the best books about science I have ever read. Alice in Quantumland is an allegory about quantum physics. A little girl named Alice sits in her room a little bit bored and then something strange happens - she appears to be as small as an electron.

Uncertainty, Pauli exclusion, virtual reality and many other quantum phenomena were explain in this book. After finishing the last page my head started to spin around trying to truly grasp these concepts. Overall, quite a nice interesting introduction into my 2nd year Physics.:). Una eccezionale capacita' di visualizzare i concetti della teoria dei quanti immergendosi nel racconto di Alice. Del resto cosi' come quel romanzo ha squassato i canoni della immaginazione cosi' la quantistica ha spostato la fisica in zone dove per capirne prima la matematica e quindi le profonde implicazioni scientifiche si rende necessaria una capacita' descrittiva non comune.

I was just way more thought then I could put in a book [at this time:]. It had some great allegories for how some of the stuff in quantum worked, but other times you were still sitting there and scratching your head trying to figure out how that's supposed to work. Then you just kind of have to accept it [like of like faith:], and faith and science are just kind of hard to mix in my mind.

Probably a better read for those who like allegories (or understand them better then me) or Way brainy read. I was just way more thought then I could put in a book [at this time:].
