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

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 42 points 10 months ago

Slides $20 across table

How about now? 😉

[-] janAkali@lemmy.one 8 points 10 months ago

We will see what we can do. 😐

[-] lnee@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

The law does not accept bribes

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 10 months ago

Let me get my "Quantum sledgehammer"...

[-] dessimbelackis@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Well, essentially, yes.

[-] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 15 points 10 months 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.

[-] onion@feddit.de 6 points 10 months 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?

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.

[-] onion@feddit.de 6 points 10 months ago

You just gotta run fast enough, trust me bro

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 5 points 10 months ago

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

Thats why we are here on science memes!

I've seen kids that age test this theory

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months 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.

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 11 points 10 months 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.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I have the scar to prove it

[-] thisNotMyName@lemmy.world 40 points 10 months ago

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

[-] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[-] sudoshakes@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago

There is a reason they call it the strong force.

Get stronger or eat wall.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Win-win.

Walk through a wall and just cease to be.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 15 points 10 months ago

Keep trying, sending scalar vibes your way.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

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

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Parts of you do

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Maybe get your entire body to reach quantum coherence

[-] jlow@beehaw.org 3 points 10 months ago

Weak nuclear force?
