Quantum tunneling, just before I move on here, quantum tunneling is a really weird thing. If you had a ball, let's say you had a baseball, tennis ball, and you throw it against the wall, you throw it on the wall, there are only two outcomes. You get to the other side of the wall. Either you go around and drop it there, or punch right through. So if you punch right through, that requires lots and lots of energy. And quantum particles, when they're tunneling, they have very low energy. So quantum particles, they can sometimes pass right through an object, even though they don't appear to have enough energy to do so. And you would think they would just bounce off. And the process works because particles can act as both particles and waves. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle tells scientists that if a particle's energy or momentum is known, you can't be certain about its position. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November. All star node G22 is located at the south in Washington. One in a million. That the particle can take a position on the other side of the object when it was thought to be on the front side. And certainly if the quantum mechanics allows this, without quantum tunneling, we wouldn't exist. You need quantum tunneling to affect the sun. The way hydrogen atoms, the protons in the sun, combine, you need quantum tunneling for that effect to happen, or else the sun wouldn't shine. Just dropping.
