  • This video discusses the concept of quantum tunneling, and how this phenomenon only works because particles can act like waves.
    The fastest baseball pitch ever thrown reached over 170 kilometers an hour. That's impressive. But even that record breaking fastball would never be able to pass through a solid brick wall.
    It's just not possible. That is, unless we're playing quantum baseball.
    A thrown baseball might have enough energy to rip through a piece of paper, but even the fastest pitch would just bounce off a brick wall.
    Yet sometimes quantum particles are caught passing through barriers they don't seem to have enough energy to break through.
    Logically, they should just bounce off. And yet there they are, sitting quite happily on the other side. How can that be possible?

    We don't actually see an atom with a tunneling microscope. We feel the atom. And record that touching as a coded signal. Then the data gleaned from that procedure is reprocessed/transformed into pictures. We see a graphical interpretation of data. Nothing more.

      ​@@ogi197 I'm just making a point. I don't want to give away the details. I prefer that people discover things by themselves. Granted though, I did many years ago show how a high school dropout who knows nothing about physics, can independently discover the Special Relativity(SR) phenomena, and at the same time independently derive the SR math equations. The key to the success, is the knowing nothing about physics, thus knowing nothing about the incomplete and thus flawed, physics of today.

    waves acting like particles, i.e., the water droplets, "jump" from the electron side to the reading side completing the circuit. they dont jump, the energy probably "builds up" and then the electron suddenly turns into a drop of water on the other side.
    so energy coalesces on the other side enough to generate a discrete unit of electron?
    can someone please show the Feynman diagrams? I'm pretty sure there is an intuitive explanation for this.

    An explanation was provided for space travel using Meta materials. As space is saturated with energy on a quantum level and given that all locations in space and time are mathematically mappable, space travel is possible by using an Alcubierre warp drive. The propulsion system operates on the principle of quantum tunnelling, hence a craft equipped with an Alcubierre drive will not travel through space; instead, it will instantaneously relocate itself (i.e., Jumping from one location to another). Relocation is done by the drive tuning to the unique frequency of a particular position in space-time.

    Confused to as why they explain quantum tunneling like this nowadays because this isn't what the experiments have shown it as, in the case of the electron quantum tunneling it was more of a specific exchange of energy as it was absorbed it spit an electron out the other side at the same time to maintain the same amount of energy in the atom. And that's why they used to say it would allow particles to move faster than light, and with this new idea that's not the case and doesn't add up to what's actually happening.

    Bear with me a moment. Concerning the Mandela Effect, it seems that dimensions and/or universes...coexisting within the same space according to Thoth in Emerald Tablet #9, are separated by a thin electromagnetic veil. Now if enough electromagnetic energy could be generated...like 13.6 TeV maybe, could these "veils" be pierced? I have a gif showing how if these universes bump up against each other via a method like this, they don't merge, but basically small particles could be transferred back and forth and small changes could occur in one or both. Just theoretical, but something to study and consider. I've been watching CERN for over a decade and I fully believe this to be a valid theory.✌️🕊🌿🔱♎️💫♒️🌠

    Wow, quantum tunneling, neat. Perhaps, it could be key to resolving for stalemates in conflict. Every so often, humanities perspective jumps into a new perspective. How? Humanity tries to create standards to best organize and highlight potential breakthroughs, but it almost never works. Real breakthroughs come through a series of events, perhaps unrelated, perhaps in conflict at first, but ultimately greater than the sum of its parts. Phew, now I can relax, the decay of the vacuum of space will not likely decay on me, just taking it one day at a time.

Also if they give you a diagram it's interesting to see what's not considered a straight line to be the quicker route. Then again they could refer you onto one be there hormer videos.

Wouldn't the corresponding note that you maintained show the exact opposite position within the same factor indicating 0 or 1? The reference material I made note of in the original comment I'm hoping the channel producer provides it better explains it although if I remember correctly this is how computers also work originally. I also understand that the flicker pattern is only resolved after you look at it that's a whole other box of worms.
