Alice in Quantumland
Из огня да в полымя. Точнее - в деревушку Горэм неподалеку от Портланда (тот, который в штате Мэйн, а не тот, который в Орегоне). Позавчера снег выпал, но уже почти весь растаял. Безобразие. Зашел в местный Бордерз и нашел забытую кем-то книжку "Alice in Quantumland", by Robert Gilmore. Довольно забавно. Например, Алиса ищет в место в поезде, который уже полон электронов:
"How about his one?" she asked her associate. "Here is a compartment with only one other electron already in it. Can you get in here?" "Certainly not!" he snapped, sounding quite horrified. "That is another spin-up electron. I cannot share a compartment with another spin-up electron. What a suggestion! That is quite against my principle." "Don't you mean against your principles?" Alice asked him. "I mean what I say, against my principle, or rather Pauli's principle. It forbids any two of us electrons from doing exactly the same thing, which includes being in the same space and having the same spin," he responded crossly.
Несколько поже она видит рекламу:
Are you dissatisfied with your state?
Would you like to move up to a higher level?
We will help you to make the Transition for only 10 eV.
(Offer subject to normal Pauli exclusion limitation.)

Забавно, и болеетого, но...
