  • In this experiment I show you to perform quantum tunneling. I first explain what quantum tunneling actually is, then I show you how to make it happen. I talk about total internal reflection and how light can bounce off boundary layers and then how light can actually tunnel through it.

    Large objects can also tunnel, but their probability is so low you might never see it happen. But, you can increase the probability of something to tunnel by increasing it's energy. So if you channel enough energy through your body, you should be able to quantum tunnel through an object just before you explode.

      Large objects can't quantum tunnel because they never act as waves. And this for two reasons:
      1) they are constanstly measured by something, the bigger the more thing there are which are measuring it. Being measured = wave collapse = no quantum behaviour
      2) even if you could for some divine intervention isolate the object it's wave function would still be so small because of it's mass that it would still act completely normal.
      Giving it more energy wouldn't solve, +e = +m = smaller wave function

    You know, I recall a story a friend of mine once told me about what I believe was this same principle. He stated that, given enough attempts, any object would (in theory) phase through any other object no matter the thickness. He gave the example of, if you were to slap your hand on a wooden table once every second in the exact same place for long enough, it would eventually pass right through the table as if it wasn't there. Granted, the heat death of the universe would probably have come and gone several times before you managed it, but it would still eventually happen. The reason being (if I recall his explanation correctly) was that molecules of your hand would eventually vibrate/align with those of the table in just such a way, that they wouldn't interact with each other when you tried to strike the table. I always found that story fascinating.

      @daytonenloe2926 Před rokem +3

      Unfortunately that’s a very common misconception of the concept. Since macroscopic objects don’t have wave functions, and are too big, they can’t quantum tunnel. It’s a very common joke about slapping your hand on a table. If there were a nonzero probability of it happening, we would see moving objects phase through things all the time, we would see things partially phased, think about how many steps every single animal takes in one day, then imagine how many times people or animals feet would be seen partially in the ground. Especially since we see moving objects interact way more than people think.

    The Quantum Tunnel effect reminds me of a phenomenon in Games and Simulations. If an Objekt in a Game/Simulation is small and fast enough it can tunnel right through aswell. In the Computer you can fix this problem with raycasting (basically checking the space between the last and latest position if there is any obstacle). It's pretty interesting that this even applies to the real world somehow.

      let me explain. light from the inside of glass reflects actualy off a thin layer of air outside the glass, not the glass surface itself. if you push your fingers through this thin layer of air, you will see them. Its called quantum tunneling to confuse people and prevent them from understanding this with common sense, so the physics PhDs can be exclusively employed and get the horrendous money back they stuck into their university paper.

The explanation is that during total internal reflection, although perfect electromagnetic waves (with constant amplitude and frequency) do not pass through, there is a transmitted evanescent field, which due to the presence of a now complex valued index of refraction, decay exponentially in space.

      As an experienced quantum tunnel user this happend to twice you just need to make a dark matter quantum tunnel so you can go from outside the boundary without breaking air particles

    The fact that these everyday phenomena are because of quantum tunneling is really mind blowing. although i have a fair bit of engineering background, this video opened my eyes to a different way of understanding the world. thank you.
