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

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

Well, essentially, yes.

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.

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?

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.

You just gotta run fast enough, trust me bro

[–] cynar 4 points 10 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 11 months ago

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

Thats why we are here on science memes!
