Graduate Quantum Tunneling: Explained, Theories & Answers
I understand now. It'd be rather simple to visualize it by considering the wave function of a quantum harmonic oscillator.- cyleung_2001

Graduate Quantum Tunneling: Explained, Theories & Answers
Can the phenomenon of quantum tunneling be explained? Any theory that can account for it? Or is it just empirical? Would someone kindly answer my questions? o:)- cyleung_2001

Graduate The Dark Age of the Early Universe: How Did the CMBR Reach Us?
I see, so we are actually talking about the temperature of a body in space. But are there any other mechanisms besides EM waves that can have the same effect? And can we assign a temp to dark matter? As I know dark matter doesn't emit any radiation.- cyleung_2001

Graduate The Dark Age of the Early Universe: How Did the CMBR Reach Us?
As temperature is emergent and is only describing the speed of molecules in a substance, is it meaningful to speak of temperature in an empty space? If not, can we say that the microwave background radiation is "heating" up the universe? As most of the universe is empty space- cyleung_2001
