Have you heard the latest news since Einstein? It was news in scientific and engineering journals, such as Science and IEEE Spectrum, and it even made headlines in the popular press, as in the San Francisco Chronicle. Yes, light can be slowed down, even stopped! Einstein, eat your heart out! (To be fair, Einstein said only that nothing could travel faster than light, but that too has been questioned lately.) Well, it may have been news to you and me, but it wasn’t news in Wonderland, where it had been known for a long time. So if a Nobel prize were to be awarded for this discovery, it ought to go to a Wonderland scientist—Nobel Committee, please note. Here is the full story of how Alice first encountered this phenomenon in Wonderland. And then I’ll show how it explains Gaussian units, which are now in common use in Wonderland.
