What is quantum tunneling? (youtube)

[BootinUp]

very cool.

1. Transistors using field effect

rely on electrons tunneling thru a barrier.
This has made all of your electronics work.

May also be why your amp blows out when the music is too loud?

2. If it didn't work

There would be no life.

4. Fission

Ok how do we know that nuclear fusion is going on in the sun and not fission?

5. I am not a physicist! lol. I assume fusion

is the only way to explain data we know about the sun.

6. That's easy. It's my cat, trying to get under the covers

when I'm sleeping.

7. I just can't seem to wrap my head around it

I don't have the ability to understand what is being shown and spoken about. I guess I just don't have the knowledge that I would need to be able to. My brain is unable to process what is being shown. I feel stupid sometimes, but know that it has to be because I don't have the level of education to grasp things like this.

8. I think the video assumes a good bit of previous

Knowledge. And maybe I should have prefaced it with some more comment. What it comes down to is that quantum mechanics is hard to accept based on observations with our natural senses. But, there actually are good real world examples of it in action.
