The hydrogen atom's shocked expression perfectly captures the bizarre reality of quantum tunneling. Hydrogen, being the smallest atom, can literally phase through platinum's crystal lattice structure like it's no big deal. While other elements politely wait outside, hydrogen just... walks through walls. Platinum catalysts exploit this quantum weirdness for all sorts of chemical reactions. It's basically the atomic version of discovering you have superpowers, except instead of celebrating, the hydrogen is just completely freaking out about violating classical physics.
