There is currently a meme shared by paranormal teams on social media that suggests that a quantum mechanical process that is known as quantum tunnel can be, which gives rise to certain paranormal activity that characterizes poltergeistic cases.
In Poltergeist Hauntings it is not uncommon to hear about objects that disappear from one room and appear in another, as if they went through a wall. Paranormal researchers call this a “apport”, a term that describes an object that one place is transferred to another via a non-stated paranormal method.
Another rarer type of activity associated with poltergeistic cases is the phenomenon of objects that melt together. These are usually objects such as coins that land on the floor as if they were thrown, but in inspection appear to be merged together.
In both examples, a solid object seems to “tunnel” through another solid object because of a kind of poltergeistic influence, so paranormal teams have began to compare the phenomenon with a quantum process that has the word “tunneling” in his name.
The meme is currently being shared heavily on Facebook and Twitter reads:
“If you throw a ball to a wall, it will bounce back to you, that is classic physics at work. But in the world of quantum physics, if you did the same with a particle, there is a chance that it will suddenly appear on the other side. This is a phenomenon known as Kwantum tunneling, and now it is a team of physici that it is effective that it is effective.”
There is nothing wrong with this meme as such, in fact it is quite accurate in the intended context. Quantum tunnel can pass a particle through potential barriers. And as the meme says, it is measured. In 2019, scientists discovered that the weird mechanic takes place in fewer than 1.8 Attoseconds, which is a billionth of a billionth of a second – essentially immediately.
The inaccuracies arise when paranormal teams share these meme, accompanied by a pseudo -scientific caption that is intended to make it relevant to the paranormal world. They often write something along the lines of …
Poltergeists do not carry out their own version of quantum tunneling.
As the original science meme makes clear, a ball that bounces against a wall is an example of classic physics. This is because it is a macroscopic mechanical process that we can observe with the naked eye.
It continues to say: “In the world of quantum physics, if you did the same with a particle, there is a chance that it will suddenly appear on the other side.” What they say here is that this tunnel process only happens at a quantum level in a quantum world.
The fact that the word “quantum” in quantum physics is similar to the word “quantity” is no coincidence. Quantum physics is the study of the smallest possible amount of something, not the visible world around us, but the outside microscopic particles that form it.
So when physicists talk about things that tunnel through barriers, they mean the smallest particles that go through small barriers.
Although the objects around us in the macroscopic world that are said to pass through things in poltergeistic cases are fundamentally made of the same ‘smallest possible quantity’ particles, as a whole the objects are outside the rich of quantum physics because they are more than just those composing parts.
If you understand how the mechanism works behind the quantum tunnel, you can easily understand why it works for a small particle, but not for a ball bouncing from a wall.
It all comes down to the fact that the subatomical particles that form the world around us, and even our bodies, can also behave like waves and particles. The concept of wave shapes must be known to every paranormal researcher who has analyzed EVPs, because sound can also be described as traveling in waves with similar properties.
Whether something in the quantum world behaves when a particle or a wave depends on his condition, whether it is something or is being observed.
In the case of quantum tunneling, the particle behaves like a wave. When the Golf encounters an obstacle with a thickness of less than three nanometers – less than 1% of the width of human hair – the wave function can spread through that potential barrier.
Quantum tunneling only applies to particles such as photons and electrons that exist at quantum level. A ball, a coin or another solid object that we see around us does not behave like a wave under any circumstances. That is why the wave function cannot spread by a barrier of any kind.
The above applies to the type of objects that ghost hunters are talking about. Coins, balls and rocks thrown by spirits do not show quantum mechanical behavior. The individual particles within these objects have one chance From tunneling, but because there are about 43 Quintillion atoms in something as little as a grain of sand, it is essentially impossible for each particle to unanimously tunnel together in the same direction.
Even if it was possible, there is no explanation about how a poltergeist could cause this quantum phenomenon, let alone that it is arranged, once brought forward by proponents of the Poltergeist-Tunnelling theory. In fact, even a scientifically valid description of the nature that a poltergeist escapes us.
