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.
Well quantum tunneling doesn’t actually apply to larger objects. Quantum mechanics can only possibly apply to quanta. There isn’t any probability at all for a macroscopic object to tunnel.
@@daytonenloe2926 Macroscopic objects are made up of microparticles, each particle has its own probability to tunnel, in theory it can happen but due to the amount of particles each having their own probability make the chance of witnessing it as near impossible as all particles need to tunnel at the exact same time and In the same direction.
Large objects can't quantum tunnel because they never act as waves. And this for two reasons: 1) they are constanstly measured by something, the bigger the more thing there are which are measuring it. Being measured = wave collapse = no quantum behaviour 2) even if you could for some divine intervention isolate the object it's wave function would still be so small because of it's mass that it would still act completely normal. Giving it more energy wouldn't solve, +e = +m = smaller wave function

You know, I recall a story a friend of mine once told me about what I believe was this same principle. He stated that, given enough attempts, any object would (in theory) phase through any other object no matter the thickness. He gave the example of, if you were to slap your hand on a wooden table once every second in the exact same place for long enough, it would eventually pass right through the table as if it wasn't there. Granted, the heat death of the universe would probably have come and gone several times before you managed it, but it would still eventually happen. The reason being (if I recall his explanation correctly) was that molecules of your hand would eventually vibrate/align with those of the table in just such a way, that they wouldn't interact with each other when you tried to strike the table. I always found that story fascinating.
call me a loon but me and my friend swear we saw this happen with a tennis ball which passed through a net, no additional holes in the net which shouldn’t have been there and it definitely didn’t go over, under or around. only reason i believe i saw it is because he pointed it out to me after i noticed and said nothing
Now, this is interesting. I know it's just fictional, but in The Flash show, he can use his speed to vibrate, and align his molecules to the air frequency, or even thinner, and phase ant barrier. I never actually understood how it works, but now, after this video all makes sense.
Somehow you have a better understanding of quantum tunneling than the Action Lab. This dude is recklessly careless and mislead us throughout the whole video telling us we were witnessing quantum tunneling when we are actually just witnessing light moving through glass. Don’t listen to this guy as he is NOT a scientist. He’s a RUclipsr. Please don’t forget that lol
Unfortunately that’s a very common misconception of the concept. Since macroscopic objects don’t have wave functions, and are too big, they can’t quantum tunnel. It’s a very common joke about slapping your hand on a table. If there were a nonzero probability of it happening, we would see moving objects phase through things all the time, we would see things partially phased, think about how many steps every single animal takes in one day, then imagine how many times people or animals feet would be seen partially in the ground. Especially since we see moving objects interact way more than people think.
The Quantum Tunnel effect reminds me of a phenomenon in Games and Simulations. If an Objekt in a Game/Simulation is small and fast enough it can tunnel right through aswell. In the Computer you can fix this problem with raycasting (basically checking the space between the last and latest position if there is any obstacle). It's pretty interesting that this even applies to the real world somehow.
Bruh you are the best scientist you don’t keep talking about nonsense you actually get to the point with nerdy facts and even people who got an f in science can understand what you say!!

let me explain. light from the inside of glass reflects actualy off a thin layer of air outside the glass, not the glass surface itself. if you push your fingers through this thin layer of air, you will see them. Its called quantum tunneling to confuse people and prevent them from understanding this with common sense, so the physics PhDs can be exclusively employed and get the horrendous money back they stuck into their university paper.
Is this actually quantum tunneling or is it just the removal of the air water/glass boundary that causes the total internal reflection. If you squeeze out the air then there is no boundary to reflect off.
It’s called oversimplification lmfao he says multiple times through the video that light is “tunneling” through the air or glass, both of which are not occurring. This is a rough demonstration of the idea of quantum tunneling. This is ABSOLUTELY NOT actual quantum tunneling. He’s just misinformed & misleading. Not the scientist we deserve, but the one we got. Sad
@@cocoisadog This is not due to quantum tunneling. This effect is called "frustrated total internal reflection" and can be perfectly explained with classical electrodynamics. The explanation is that during total internal reflection, although perfect electromagnetic waves (with constant amplitude and frequency) do not pass through, there is a transmitted evanescent field, which due to the presence of a now complex valued index of refraction, decay exponentially in space. So when the finger is placed very close to the glass can be seen. taken from reddit , courtesy of TheEsteemedSirScrub

As an experienced quantum tunnel user this happend to twice you just need to make a dark matter quantum tunnel so you can go from outside the boundary without breaking air particles

No, the index of refraction of air is pretty close to the vacuum, which is 1. The speed o light is maximum in a vacuum. It will be slightly more reflective.

Always wondered as a small kid what in the world was going on with the water glass whenever my fingers were wet. Thank you for finally providing me an answer to this question!
It's not though - because you can see it. Only change your perspective - camera viewing angle and you see objects from great distances away through both the water and the glass. The distance your finger is doesn't matter - it's your perspective.
The fact that these everyday phenomena are because of quantum tunneling is really mind blowing. although i have a fair bit of engineering background, this video opened my eyes to a different way of understanding the world. thank you.

I know this question is kinda late, but what happens to this experiment in a vacuum chamber? did the glass and water turn totally see-through from the top?
@@geoffreyd3186 You can seal the glass with water in it and place that into the vacuum. @XeenoMorph This will still happen even with vacuum, because vacuum also has a refractive index. The refractive index is calculated using the speed of light in the medium in relation to speed of light in vacuum. The slower the speed of light in that medium, the higher the refractive index. Vacuum has 1, Air 1.000293, while Water has 1.333.

I appreciate your effort for producing great content like this for the public. This however is not a case that needs to be explained using quantum mechanics. What you are observing can be completely explained by refraction of light by a thin layer of moisture between your finger and the glass. Some of the light scattered by your finger is refracted by the thin layer of moisture to an angle that now allows it to enter the glass rather than being reflected by it. The case becomes even more apparent when you wet your fingers. No quantum mechanics needed here. Just draw good ray diagrams and use Snell's laws carefully, on the premise that there is always a thin film of moisture on the finger that you press into the glass. Let me finish by giving a good counter example: 1. Half fill the same glass with boiling water, making sure the water doesn't spill on the outside surface of the glass. 2. Preheat a peace of smooth concrete that has been previously moulded to the curved shape of the exterior of the glass. Make sure the concrete is hotter than the boiling point of water. 3. Now press your heater concrete against the glass, and you will not see any of the observations in this video. 4. Let the concrete cool, and then wet it in water and press it against the glass and you will see the observations made in this video, proving that you need a film of moisture to make those observations.
I think you misunderstand. He is using this optics example as an analogy to explain quantum tunneling. Listen to the beginning again, around1:35 and compare to around 6:50.
Alpha Infinitum, the phenomenon shown in the video cannot be explained with refraction. The effect of refraction is proportional to the thickness the light traverses, as that thickness goes to zero, the refraction effect of the interface vanishes. The video is correct.
How do we know there’s still an air barrier when the fingers are pressed hard against the glass? It seems like you’ve just eliminated the large difference in refractive indices by eliminating the air layer. Finally, wouldn’t they be almost impossible (or nearly impossible) to see if a minuscule (but nonzero) proportion of photons “skip” the barrier? Not to mention that the number of photons that are reflected back off of the fingers to the eye would be a minuscule percentage of the set that skipped the barrier initially. so a fraction of a fraction of photons would hit the viewers eye. Thank you for this interesting video and I hope you answer my questions. edit: in fact, if you tried this again with light inside of a metal box that has thin enough walls for quantum tunneling, you should be able see light reflected from the room walls outside of the box if the proportion of photons that skip the barrier is as high as in this experiment. I have a feeling the proportion would be so low that a special apparatus would be to be installed to detect the photons, and I would be willing to bet you won’t have any visible light escaping from the box.
It's definitely not quantum tunnelling, its just theres no more total internal reflection due to modified refractive index caused by more denser i.e higher refractive index of fingers. Tunnelling requires barrier width of around 1-3 nm, and glass is too thick for this. for more information , read about tunnel diodes. It takes lot more than just reducing barrier width to make tunnelling work, it needs favourable energy states both side of the barrier.
dsgregg the refractive index doesn’t really apply to opaque materials edit: after reading the other response above yours, I may be wrong about opacity and refractive index - i think the person who posted that might be a better person than me to answer that question - i’ll try to do some research tomorrow but my arthritis is making my fingers uncooperative for now
I'm confused, about the demonstration. How is removing one of the components for reflectivity (air) demonstrate quantum tunneling? It's no longer a thin barrier, it's full-on gone.
The component for reflectivity has to do with the thickness of the barrier. If he is pressing hard against a surface then he is physically flattening the layer (barrier) of air molecules which brings you back to what he was explaining at the beginning of the video of the success of quantum tunneling depending on the thinness of the barrier.
I think what he explained is that quantum tunneling can only occur under certain circumstances. The barrier can't be too thick, and there can't be something to reflect the particles away. The water and the glass are not thick enough or reflective enough to prevent the photon particle from passing through. Air, becomes the third impeding barrier at a certain angle. It prevents light from reaching the camera from certain angles. By squeezing hard against the glass he reduces the amount of air between his finger and the glass, making it easier for photons in that one area to reach the camera from that angle. I think this is correct, let me know if it helps!
This is not "Quantum Tunneling", its just an optic illusion based on how light reflects on different surfaces. Not related to quantum tunneling in any way.
I agree... the explanation in the video can't be right because total internal reflection happens at the boundary water - air, not at air - water. So modifying the air - water boundary can't change anything about total internal reflection
I’m quite sure the glass experiment has nothing to do with quantum tunnelling. For starters, the photons from your hand aren’t being blocked by a barrier, they’re just being refracted towards the horizontal so we don’t see them from above. The photons getting blocked are the ones inside the glass getting refracted back in when they try to leave. When you press something against the glass, the photons no longer pass from air into glass, it goes from your hand directly into the glass and doesn’t get refracted by the transition from air to glass anymore, so you can see the un-refracted photons from above now. To show quantum tunnelling here you’d need to see that photons inside, that should be totally internally reflected somehow escaped the glass and reveal something inside the water that you couldn’t see before when looking in through the glass. I think you’d need an atomically thin air gap between two glasses to try and show tunnelling of the photons that should be internally reflected.
Actually, I was wondering more or less the same thing. Or maybe my question is slightly different: when pressing your finger against the glass, don't you just squeeze out ALL the air between the finger and the glass, so there is NO air barrier at all remaining?
@@Lievendevlaminck to remove all the air you have to use some hard vacuum pump, and even so it won't be that enough. Don't think your fingers can do that.
I tend to agree with Chris. When you push something against the surface you just replace one medium with another, which is acting different or you simply remove that boundary completely. And you don't need any vacuum at all. Imagine looking from inside the water above to the surface and just seeing the mirror effect, because there is air over the water. But you can simply add oil and you will have another medium. it will have a different refraction index and the effect changes.

He stated that, given enough attempts, any object would (in theory) phase through any other object no matter the thickness. He gave the example of, if you were to slap your hand on a wooden table once every second in the exact same place for long enough, it would eventually pass right through the table as if it wasn't there. Granted, the heat death of the universe would probably have come and gone several times before you managed it, but it would still eventually happen. The reason being (if I recall his explanation correctly) was that molecules of your hand would eventually vibrate/align with those of the table in just such a way, that they wouldn't interact with each other when you tried to strike the table. I always found that story fascinating.

The Quantum Tunnel effect reminds me of a phenomenon in Games and Simulations. If an Objekt in a Game/Simulation is small and fast enough it can tunnel right through aswell. In the Computer you can fix this problem with raycasting (basically checking the space between the last and latest position if there is any obstacle). It's pretty interesting that this even applies to the real world somehow.
Large objects can often do it too, if you're going fast enough.

@@cocoisadog This is not due to quantum tunneling. This effect is called "frustrated total internal reflection" and can be perfectly explained with classical electrodynamics. The explanation is that during total internal reflection, although perfect electromagnetic waves (with constant amplitude and frequency) do not pass through, there is a transmitted evanescent field, which due to the presence of a now complex valued index of refraction, decay exponentially in space.

@@alihaydartunc7249 ok stop spamming
I appreciate your effort for producing great content like this for the public. This however is not a case that needs to be explained using quantum mechanics. What you are observing can be completely explained by refraction of light by a thin layer of moisture between your finger and the glass. Some of the light scattered by your finger is refracted by the thin layer of moisture to an angle that now allows it to enter the glass rather than being reflected by it. The case becomes even more apparent when you wet your fingers. No quantum mechanics needed here. Just draw good ray diagrams and use Snell's laws carefully, on the premise that there is always a thin film of moisture on the finger that you press into the glass. Let me finish by giving a good counter example:
1. Half fill the same glass with boiling water, making sure the water doesn't spill on the outside surface of the glass.
2. Preheat a peace of smooth concrete that has been previously moulded to the curved shape of the exterior of the glass. Make sure the concrete is hotter than the boiling point of water.
3. Now press your heater concrete against the glass, and you will not see any of the observations in this video.
4. Let the concrete cool, and then wet it in water and press it against the glass and you will see the observations made in this video, proving that you need a film of moisture to make those observations.
year greasy hands seem like the case
I think you misunderstand. He is using this optics example as an analogy to explain quantum tunneling. Listen to the beginning again, around1:35 and compare to around 6:50.
You are having a good point but i think he just trying to simplify it so normal people could understand it without knowing 1000+ physics laws
Alpha Infinitum, the phenomenon shown in the video cannot be explained with refraction. The effect of refraction is proportional to the thickness the light traverses, as that thickness goes to zero, the refraction effect of the interface vanishes. The video is correct.

How do we know there’s still an air barrier when the fingers are pressed hard against the glass? It seems like you’ve just eliminated the large difference in refractive indices by eliminating the air layer.
Finally, wouldn’t they be almost impossible (or nearly impossible) to see if a minuscule (but nonzero) proportion of photons “skip” the barrier? Not to mention that the number of photons that are reflected back off of the fingers to the eye would be a minuscule percentage of the set that skipped the barrier initially. so a fraction of a fraction of photons would hit the viewers eye.
Thank you for this interesting video and I hope you answer my questions.
edit: in fact, if you tried this again with light inside of a metal box that has thin enough walls for quantum tunneling, you should be able see light reflected from the room walls outside of the box if the proportion of photons that skip the barrier is as high as in this experiment. I have a feeling the proportion would be so low that a special apparatus would be to be installed to detect the photons, and I would be willing to bet you won’t have any visible light escaping from the box.
It's definitely not quantum tunnelling, its just theres no more total internal reflection due to modified refractive index caused by more denser i.e higher refractive index of fingers. Tunnelling requires barrier width of around 1-3 nm, and glass is too thick for this. for more information , read about tunnel diodes. It takes lot more than just reducing barrier width to make tunnelling work, it needs favourable energy states both side of the barrier.
Re: eliminating the air layer. That was my first thought. The refractive index of skin cells is higher ???
dsgregg the refractive index doesn’t really apply to opaque materials
edit: after reading the other response above yours, I may be wrong about opacity and refractive index - i think the person who posted
that might be a better person than me to answer that question - i’ll try to do some research tomorrow but my arthritis is making my fingers uncooperative for now
@@dsgregg denser the medium higher the refractive index.
This is exactly what I was thinking
I'm confused, about the demonstration. How is removing one of the components for reflectivity (air) demonstrate quantum tunneling? It's no longer a thin barrier, it's full-on gone.
I don't think you can remove all traces of air molecules between the finger and the glass just by pressing it with muscle power.
When did he remove the air?
The component for reflectivity has to do with the thickness of the barrier. If he is pressing hard against a surface then he is physically flattening the layer (barrier) of air molecules which brings you back to what he was explaining at the beginning of the video of the success of quantum tunneling depending on the thinness of the barrier.
Perhaps the demonstration works better with having the plastic wrap as a thin barrier instead of (or in addition to) air...
I think what he explained is that quantum tunneling can only occur under certain circumstances. The barrier can't be too thick, and there can't be something to reflect the particles away.
The water and the glass are not thick enough or reflective enough to prevent the photon particle from passing through.
Air, becomes the third impeding barrier at a certain angle. It prevents light from reaching the camera from certain angles.
By squeezing hard against the glass he reduces the amount of air between his finger and the glass, making it easier for photons in that one area to reach the camera from that angle.
I think this is correct, let me know if it helps!

@@mrmistermelom lmao true
That's what I was telling,quantum tunneling requires alots of particle,pressure and temperature.
He did say it's just an analogue to quantum tunneling
I agree... the explanation in the video can't be right because total internal reflection happens at the boundary water - air, not at air - water. So modifying the air - water boundary can't change anything about total internal reflection
I’m quite sure the glass experiment has nothing to do with quantum tunnelling. For starters, the photons from your hand aren’t being blocked by a barrier, they’re just being refracted towards the horizontal so we don’t see them from above. The photons getting blocked are the ones inside the glass getting refracted back in when they try to leave. When you press something against the glass, the photons no longer pass from air into glass, it goes from your hand directly into the glass and doesn’t get refracted by the transition from air to glass anymore, so you can see the un-refracted photons from above now.
To show quantum tunnelling here you’d need to see that photons inside, that should be totally internally reflected somehow escaped the glass and reveal something inside the water that you couldn’t see before when looking in through the glass. I think you’d need an atomically thin air gap between two glasses to try and show tunnelling of the photons that should be internally reflected.
Actually, I was wondering more or less the same thing. Or maybe my question is slightly different: when pressing your finger against the glass, don't you just squeeze out ALL the air between the finger and the glass, so there is NO air barrier at all remaining?
@@Lievendevlaminck to remove all the air you have to use some hard vacuum pump, and even so it won't be that enough. Don't think your fingers can do that.
I tend to agree with Chris. When you push something against the surface you just replace one medium with another, which is acting different or you simply remove that boundary completely. And you don't need any vacuum at all. Imagine looking from inside the water above to the surface and just seeing the mirror effect, because there is air over the water. But you can simply add oil and you will have another medium. it will have a different refraction index and the effect changes.
