Mindmistress: Now the electron enters an astronomically huge rift--and constellations distant, another rift waits-- Dean: The double-slit experiment! Where a single electron can act as a particle or a wave!Mindmistress: Precisely. Einstein argued that there must be hidden variables---Bohr argued that science considered measurement, not reality--Wheeler argued for endlessly branching--now--we'll see. Dean: W-What?

Tyler: Wow. Like 'Alice in Wonderland''s growing scenes...
