Quantum tunneling just entered the chat! Your hand going straight through a table is technically possible according to quantum mechanics—just wildly, absurdly improbable. The chance is roughly 1/(5.2^61), which is basically saying "not in a trillion trillion trillion lifetimes of the universe." Yet physics doesn't say it's impossible! All those atoms in your hand could randomly tunnel through all those atoms in the table if their wave functions aligned just right. Next time you slam your hand on a table and it doesn't pass through, congratulations—you've confirmed you're not experiencing the weirdest statistical fluke in human history!
