Can I walk through the wall thanks to the quantum theory?

It's not that simple — more precisely, the degree of inaccuracy in determining the position and together with speed (momentum) is equal to a very small number (Planck's constant). If the value of the Planck constant was in the order of hundreds of J.s, then we would take going through a wall almost for granted, but because the value of the Planck constant is 1E-34 (very very small), the "strange" behavior of particles (going through a wall, appearing in unexpected places) is limited only by the microworld — that is, electrons. The whole microworld is controlled by probability, and even in the world of electrons, it is not usual for an electron to "go" through a wall but the probability that this will happen is not negligible. And because there is a huge number of electrons, we can observe similar events. Even in our world, the probability that we will not go through the wall is not 100%, but 99.99… (there will certainly be more nines than the letters in this answer after the decimal point), but there are not enough of us in the world for it and life on Earth is not long enough for humankind to experience something similar.

Can I make diamonds from coal at home?
It is fascinating that the same element (carbon) has diametrically different properties only because of the different composition of the crystal lattice. But because there are the same atoms in coal, a pencil lead or a d…

Why don’t airplanes flap their wings?
I have rather brief information about the history of flying but I think that the inspiration was based on the free flying of birds when they do not flap their wings (e.g. still used today by gliders). The principle of gl…

Where does all the light go when I turn the lights off?
Like sound or waves in water, light is a wave, only in the case of light, it is an electromagnetic wave while sound is a mechanical wave. So if I describe the waves on the water surface, we can imagine the behavior of li…
