How to Make a Quantum Tunnel In Real Life

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.

This guy got us watching his fingers touching a glass of water for 5 mins straight, amazing

[jascha]

The example you gave with the glass of water is mind-blowing. The fact that everyone can easily repeat this experiment and understand what and why it's happening is amazing. I've never been this fascinated by a glass of water before 😂

Well you know, sometimes in life you just gotta make a quantum tunnel

Me: Shoving my fingers against a glass
Mom: What are you doing
Me:



QUANTUM TUNNELING

[ruccsacc]

I've been doing that fingers against the water in the cup thing for years as a kid without realizing I've been experimenting with quantum tunneling

8:25 "You can start up a nice conversation about quantum mechanics at the table"
Yeah, that's how I got ma gurlfriend.

[dzarthedemon]

"If the barrier is thin enough the object can go through it"
That just sounds like clipping out of bounds with fewer steps

[ej_drew]

is the glass half full or half empty??
the action lab: the glass is a quantum tunnel

[arnobasson]

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.

I was expecting to learn on how to phase through walls.

[nizar]

Classical physics : you can't go through stuff

Quantum physics :hold my nuclear beer

[aaronlucero]

"It will go through the wall"
Me: how???
My router: in terms of lag we have lag.

[kovid]

How he explains core things very easily I love that

Parents : So, Who is your new Science teacher?
Me: The Action Lab

[rhylie]

him: throws a ball to a thin barrier
video: *_cuts_*
ball: goes through the barrier
me: woah

[aditichavan]

Really Hats off for how easily u hav explained such a complex concept with such A Daily Life You Very Much 🙌🙌🙌

My friend : "Teleportation"
Me an intellectual : *"Quantum tunneling"*
