DDanteKennedy reacted to Paul Colby's post in the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling with
Like.
Allowed and can happen aren’t the same, right? Just because 5 million in gold bullion could disappear from a vault and reappear in your... -
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.Does quantum tunneling also allow phenomenon like spontaneous rearrangement? Like a cup morphed into plate (ofc it's an extreme example...

DDanteKennedy reacted to PeroK's post in the thread Need study guidance/roadmap for Quantum Physics with Like.
This is, IMO, the most accessible introduction to QM. Even if you don't follow all the maths, it is highly insightful...

DDanteKennedy posted the thread Need study guidance/roadmap for Quantum Physics in STEM Academic Advising.I'm curious about the physics at quantum scale and I want to learn more about it. But my school doesn't teach quantum physics with...

DDanteKennedy reacted to Paul Colby's post in the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling with Like.
So, could we all suddenly quantum tunnel into a black hole or into the center of Jupiter? Yes, but it’s very unlikely. Some things are...
-
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.Can quantum tunneling bypass this? Or maybe an atom can go nowhere that has smaller energy state than the bond state and thus it cannot...
-
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.In the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, maybe? Is it a process that happened due to energy from outside?

DDanteKennedy reacted to Demystifier's post in the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling with Like.
A good example is a neutron. A free neutron is unstable, it decays, but a neutron in an atomic nucleus is stable.

DDanteKennedy reacted to Cthugha's post in the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling with Like.
Well, as long as there is some lower energy state available in principle, then decay is in principle also possible. For example, for...

DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.Is the alpha decay on stable elements impossible or just very unlikely?
-
DDanteKennedy reacted to Cthugha's post in the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling with Like.
In a nutshell, that is alpha decay.
-
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.Interesting. So partial tunneling doesn't exist? (Only a fraction/several particles from a larger object initiated tunneling while the...
-
DDanteKennedy replied to the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling.But what happens during spontaneous molecule breaking? And why particles have lower net energy by forming molecules rather than being...

DDanteKennedy reacted to Paul Colby's post in the thread High School Seemingly odd quantum tunneling with Like.
Tunneling doesn’t (can’t) violate energy conservation. A stable molecule (bound group of atoms) has a lower net energy than the same...
