Alice Through the Double Slits

What you should be doing is looking for an explanation that explains how what you see happening can happen. - The White Rabbit. For physics-followers who find that too many popular science books recount the same histories and discuss the same findings, often at considerable length, here is an altogether different approach to the key concepts of modern physics and the difficulties facing today's scientists in trying to reconcile them. Alice is a twenty first century girl with a keen interest in physics, whose search for bold and imaginative thinking comparable with the intuitive brilliance of the world-famous early twentieth century physicists takes her on two adventures into a Wonderland beyond the double slits of science's most mysterious experiment.The many strange creatures that she meets there have different ways of looking at things; and their sometimes scornful responses to her persistently probing questions force her into finding sharper ways of thinking about physics problems that the Big People (like Alice) have so far been unable to resolve.In this bizarre world, she hears of alternative, inter-connected ways of considering enigmas such as the nature of the relationship between macroscopic and quantum realities. She even dreams a dream in which she sees the universe with a greater degree of clarity than ever before.G.G. Davies has a lifetime of experience in writing diverse material making the specialised knowledge of other people accessible and understandable. In this intriguing account of what befell Alice, he brings these skills to bear on the deepest mysteries of the bewildering phenomena that physics attempts to observe.
