You can, there's just an extremely low chance that you will.

Slides $20 across table

How about now? 😉

The law does not accept bribes

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

We will see what we can do. 😐

Let me get my "Quantum sledgehammer"...

Big “throw yourself at the ground and miss” vibes here

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Well, essentially, yes.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

When you think about it like that, there's an insanely higher (but still ultimately miniscule) chance that only some part of you will make it through the wall and then just leave you stuck there.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Also the wall is a bit more than one layer of atoms thick, so wouldn't there be a high chance part of you only tunnels partially through the wall?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Like the person that got stuck in the floor of the Enterprise-D.

We also exhibit wave-particle duality. It's just that our wavelength is on the order of 10^-25 m or something.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

You just gotta run fast enough, trust me bro

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

You joke, but in theory it can be done. However, you also need to be completely isolated in a hard vacuum.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

There is no duality, there are only waves, and very, very lazy waves.

Thats why we are here on science memes!

I've seen kids that age test this theory

[-] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

When I was a kid I was convinced that I could do it if I honed my mind sharp enough, and mastered my body. I'm still not convinced that it's impossible, because I didn't have the discipline to achieve perfection.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Anyone who - upon learning they are made of atoms - does not try to align them with another object so they may pass through it, lacks a scientific mind.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I have the scar to prove it

[-] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago

Well according to quantum theory, you can (the possibility is just very low)

[-] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

If you have nearly infinite time, you can try and succeed one day

[-] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Keep trying, sending scalar vibes your way.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Fuck thoughts and prayers, send scalar waves and quantum entanglement.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Um....you can, they're called doors

[-] southsamurai 8 points 8 months ago

Parts of you do

[-] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Maybe get your entire body to reach quantum coherence
