The Quantum Wall

Why particles ignore the 'forbidden' laws of classical physics.

1. Classical Logic

   The Hill Problem

   In the macroscopic world, if a ball lacks the energy to roll over a hill, it simply rolls back. It is trapped by the laws of gravity and momentum.

2. The Barrier

   Energetic Dead Ends

   Physics calls these 'potential barriers.' They are the walls of energy that should keep objects confined to a specific space.

3. Quantum Reality

   Ghostly Behavior

   Subatomic particles like electrons don't always obey these walls. Occasionally, they appear on the other side of a barrier they cannot climb.
