Who will solve the riddle of the quantum? Could it be you? Join Uncle Albert's niece Gedanken as she drinks from the magic bottle and shrinks down into the tiny world of jumping quarks and electrons. Help her and the White Rabbit explore a wonderland of light and matter where nothing is what it seems. Even today scientists remain baffled by their discoveries!
