Introduction Alice’s adventure starts as her boredom strikes while watching television. She discovered a book (Alice in Wonderland) and wanted to be more like the girl in the book. Alice meets spin up and spin down electrons. The Heisenberg Relation discussed in chapter 2 of this book describing the amount of energy. When Alice gets to the institute in she meets two “men”--- classical mechanic and quantum mechanic. In the Copenhagen School, Alice learns about the mermaid, the uniformed soldier, the ugly duckling and the haughty looking man. Key Point 1 In Chapter 1 of Alice in Quantumland, the spin up and spin down electrons are talked about the most. These electrons relate to orbital notation as learned in class. As the electron tells us “This is how it is here in Quantumland: The smaller the space you occupy the faster you have to move. It is one of the rules, and there’s nothing I can do about it”.

Interference is a property of waves. It happens when amplitudes from various sources join together, since they may add in some places and cancel in other places. This will result in regions of intense or of low activity. An example of interference is when the wakes left by two boats cross one another. The effects of interference can result in poor television reception when reflections from a building interfere with the direct signal. Interference requires extended, overlapping distributions. Normally particles are in one single position and do not interfere. There are two types of interference: constructive and destructive. Constructive interference is when the crests or troughs of two interfering waves meet and their amplitudes add together. Destructive interference is when the crest and trough of two interfering waves meet and one amplitude subtracts from the
In the novel Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore, a young girl named Alice, bored with her family and friends away, wishes she could be more like the Alice in her book- “Alice in Wonderland”. Alice decides to watch T.V., but when she notices something strange happening around her she’s sucked into a world of wonder and science.
Interference and facilitation are two important aspects of automatic processes. Interference refers to the range to which one process encumbers performance of another, whereas facilitation indicates the extent to which one process assists performance of another.
Alice in Wonderland may have had stupid and crazy parts in the story, but the book if you really read it you would know it has something to do with Life Science. The characters really teach you about life and how challenging it can
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a story about a little girl who comes into contact with unpredictable, illogical, basically mad world of Wonderland by following the White Rabbit into a huge rabbit – hole. Everything she experiences there challenges her perception and questions common sense. This extraordinary world is inhabited with peculiar, mystical and anthropomorphic creatures that constantly assault Alice which makes her to question her fundamental beliefs and suffer an identity crisis. Nevertheless, as she woke up from “such a curious dream” she could not help but think “as well she might, what a wonderful dream it had been ”.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a story that has been loved and read by different age groups. Lewis Carroll wrote the book in such a way that the reader, young or old, could be trapped into Alice’s world of adventure. The illustrations by John Tenniel help portray the story beautifully. Tenniel put pictures to Carroll’s thoughts exactly. When a student reads Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland for the first time, it is always great if he or she could be introduced to his illustrations. However, it is a good idea for teachers to bring in different portals of Alice to help show how other people may view this little girl’s world. In addition, it will show that even though Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland has been written many years ago, people are still relating to Alice’s character. Overall, it is amazing to see how many different illustrators have portrayed Alice in a totally new and modern way, such Greg Hildebrandt. I decided to use Greg Hildebrandt’s illustrations to assist me in teaching about Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland because he portrays Alice as a much older looking girl. I believe this will help students understand how Alice’s character seemed older than seven years of age. He also depicts some of the characters as more humanlike than cartoon. I believe this will help students picture themselves into Alice’s world. In addition, Hildebrandt helps portray the bizarre story line that many people have come to love.
Imagination is the action of creating new ideas, scenarios, or concepts that are not present. It is the ability to form a mental image of anything that is not perceived through senses. It’s the ability of the mind to build mental scenes, objects or events that do not exist or are not there or have never happened. “...the pleasures of the imagination exist because they hijack mental system that have evolved for real world pleasure. We enjoy imaginative experiences because at some level we don’t distinguish them from real ones.” (pg.577 parg 4, Bloom)
Waves can be described as a transfer of energy. They can occur in one, two or three dimensions, depending on the nature of the wave and medium. Waves can be classified as either mechanical or electromagnetic. Mechanical waves require a medium and can be either transverse or longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and are all transverse. Figure 1.a. shows the image of a transverse wave, figure 1.b. shows the image of an electromagnetic wave.
...fe time specialization; mathematics. In her attempts to solve the puzzle of the changes that she feels about her self, Alice fails to multiply the simplest numbers correctly. She says, counting on her fingers "let's see, five times two is eleven, and five times seven is fourteen". Lewis also violates the hierarchy positions of the real world by altering the social roles. For example, in the fifth chapter, the White Rabbit treats Alice like a servant. With shrill, he orders her to go fetch him the gloves in his house. To prove to the chaotic feature of such dream, Alice obeys the Rabbit, and swiftly goes to the house fetching for the gloves.
For amplitude modulation the height or amplitude of the wave is changed to contain information. Amplitude modulation is not only used by radio stations but it is also used to send the picture part of television.

In the opening scene, Alice desires something beyond orthodox. This is showed by her lack of interest in her studies and longing for a world in which everything would be “nonsense.” She is a curious child. Deborah Ross argues that Alice expresses the usual idealistic desires: “to escape boredom (with lessons), to satisfy curiosity (about the white rabbit), and above all, to exert power” (Ross 57). However Alice does not know exerting power is difficult when the world is consumed of “nonsense”. Thus she has different qualities that contributes to her vague identity. She believes life would be different in her world. Also Disney strives to reveal Alice’s incentive of Wonderland by introducing pictorial wonders such as singing flowers and surrealistic insect, making it seem as a dream. The movie progresses in the same route as Lewis Carroll’s book by focusing on her immature thinking of Wonderland.
The characters in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are more than whimsical ideas brought to life by Lewis Carroll. These characters, ranging from silly to rude, portray the adults in Alice Liddell’s life. The parental figures in Alice’s reality, portrayed in Alice in Wonderland, are viewed as unintellectual figures through their behaviors and their interactions with one another. Alice’s interactions with the characters of Wonderland reflect her struggles with adults in real life. Naturally curious as she is, Alice asks questions to learn from the adults.
The Works of Lewis Carroll The works of Lewis Carroll are well known. Two of his most famous works are Through the Looking Glass and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is often heard as the "Crack Book. " The use of opium, fascination with odd-reversals, lack of self-confidence, and inventions are tied directly to Lewis Carroll's life and works.
Alice in Wonderland belongs to the nonsense genre, and even if most of what happens to Alice is quite illogical, the main character is not. “The Alice books are, above all, about growing up” (Kincaid, page 93); indeed, Alice starts her journey as a scared little girl, however, at the end of what we discover to be just a dream, she has entered the adolescence phase with a new way to approach the mentally exhausting and queer Wonderland. It is important to consider the whole story when analyzing the growth of the character, because the meaning of an event or a sentence is more likely to mean what it truly looks like rather than an explanation regarding subconscious and Freudian interpretations. Morton states “that the books should possess any unity of purpose seems on the surface unlikely” (Morton, page 509), but it’s better to consider the disconnected narrative and the main character separately, since the girl doesn’t belong to Wonderland, which is, as Morton says, with no intrinsic unity. Whereas, there are a few key turning points where it is possible to see how Alice is changing, something that is visible throughout her journey. Carroll wants to tell the story of a girl who has to become braver in order to contend with challenges like the pool made by her own tears, or assertive characters, like the Queen.
