One, a recently published essay applying the concept of 'invisible boundaries' to a version of Alice in Wonderland retold to teach quantum physics (much is made of the Cheshire Cat's appearing and re-appearing). Nestled on top, the storytellers socks, complete with illusion knit (cheshire) cat.
You aren't getting full photos of the socks. Those have been taken, but are to be emailed to Robynn later today, along with the pattern, you'll have to check out the storytellers site for that.
My next paper's on branding. Maybe I should knit a logo.
EDIT: My essay is pretty obscure. But if you're looking for books that use stories to explain modern physics, the best place to start is with this author.

Wow... As a physics teacher I'd love a copy of that essay, looks like it's in a book, so now I'm wondering about the title :) Sounds like a "must have" for those "not very interested but my parents are making me take physics"-students in highschool!
Congratulations on the publication! (And I can't wait to see the socks.)
Woo, shiny publication! And excellent life convergence, of course.
Can I have the reference please?
Congratulations on both FOs! Well done!
hat's my favorite story!waouw!
Hello, I'm the long suffering boyfriend of a mad knitter. Love her as I do (and I do) she has pointed your boyfriend friendly socks of last year. I am intrigued, what did said BF make of them as I suspect I might be receiving some soon and am curious about the male perspective (if that isn't a contradiction in terms).
My girlfriend is looking forward to seeing the pattern for the chesire socks.
What do you think about George Gamov's books? I haven't read them in a long time, but I enjoyed the stories in "Mr. Tompkins in Paperback" as a teenager.
Pretty effective piece of writing, thanks for the post.
sounds pretty cool actually, i also read some recommendations on internet about some chapters and some unsolved mysteries, that really makes me happy.
Wow, there is so much effective info above!
