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

Slides $20 across table

How about now? 😉

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

We will see what we can do. 😐

The law does not accept bribes

Let me get my "Quantum sledgehammer"...

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Well, essentially, yes.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

You just gotta run fast enough, trust me bro

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thats why we are here on science memes!

I've seen kids that age test this theory

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

I have the scar to prove it

[-] [email protected] 40 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You can, but the little detail that a lot of people miss is that it takes a lot of energy to do so, more than you could probably survive.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

There is a reason they call it the strong force.

Get stronger or eat wall.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Win-win.

Walk through a wall and just cease to be.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Keep trying, sending scalar vibes your way.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Parts of you do

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe get your entire body to reach quantum coherence

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Weak nuclear force?
