It's a quantum phenomenon...and yes, it's named after that Alice. When a quantum monopole decays, it produces a ring-like vortex that flips any other monopoles passing through the center.
It lasts milliseconds, no more...but it actually lasts longer than the monopole's lifespan. The charge of the Alice ring might also flip.
What does this mean for us? We don't know yet...but could it have something to do with dark matter?
