I could listen to this guy all day even if I don’t always quite understand

[wntu]

Without tunneling we would not have semi-conductor electronics.

[Sugarcubeyt]

So cool, I love physics. There are things in nature that are weirder then you can even imagine. So cool

[alexchudilovski]

The wave function is a field in which the electron can manifest itself, but only one electron per some field.

[myyklmax]

I suspect what happens is .... As the electron intersect with the molecules within the hill, the entering electron displaces the an electron with the hill. This continues until a displaced electron exits the other side if the hill. Now during the displacement action whithin the hill, energy is discharged, so the electron that exits has less energy (spectrum amplitude and frequency) than the electron that entered from the other side.

Amazing analysis of our Universe, and the intricate components that are being revealed. I wonder how far we have to go to solve all the pieces to this puzzle. Thank you, Dr Tyson!

[Mastervitro]

They are waves, they don't become "particles" until another wave (light) interacts with it.

[toddlipira]

Turns out, Twinkies are also waves and particles.

Quantum tunneling is how positively charged Hydrogen atoms are able to Fuse inside the Core of the Sun. They should repel each other, but somehow they get close enough to make Fusion happen.

[JesseSpeaksYT]

love when a scientist is so excited about the mystery of the universe. God is good.

[aliceslab]

when i first heard about it a decade ago i liked to think of it as breaking limits. it made me feel like anything was possible

[marc-andreservant]

This is how your microSD card and SSD work. Each bit is a transistor with the gate covered with a thin layer of insulator. If there are electrons trapped in the gate, current can flow. If there is no negative charge trapped in the gate, current doesn't flow. A high voltage causes electrons to tunnel through the insulator to write data. High capacity drives go a step further and can control the amount of charge on the gate, resulting in a gradient between completely on and completely off. This allows more than one bit to be stored per transistor, but it's inaccurate so the controller uses clever math to correct the errors and reconstruct the intended data.

[acarpentersson]

It's amazing how science can accept something as true, no matter how insane and impossible it may seem, as long as there's a math formula for it.

[tyroneu]

Love how this man loves his job teaching us

[ericpetersen]

it’s borrowed time, and has to be paid back. stars are notorious for it to start the fusion reaction going!

[AllTheC]

It doesn't truly count as Faster Then Light because it doesn't actually travel the distance, it just teleports.

[senoreljoynes]

In quantum mechanics for EE my professor said that's actually how zener diodes are able to work. Essentially there a really small barrier that electrons can easily tunnel through allowing for current in the "wrong" direction.

[TheMeTreeHouse]

This makes more sense if a subspace exists, meaning that to the wave no mountain was ever in its way to begin with. So not so much teleporting as it is hitting boundaries that act like doors.

[KristenGilliland]

And then there were portals. Luv the poetry in math!

[sbkenn]

So, teleportation IS possible. We just can't prompt or control it, yet.
