A particle just walked through a wall.
No, seriously.
This is Quantum Tunneling one of the strangest phenomena in physics. Classical mechanics says: if your energy is less than the barrier, you CANNOT pass. Game over.
But quantum mechanics? It says: hold on...
Every particle has a wave function ψ and that wave doesn't just stop at a wall. It leaks through. And if the barrier is thin enough, the particle appears on the other side.
The probability?
T = [1 + V₀²sinh²(κL) / 4E(V₀−E)]⁻¹
Notice how the particle dims inside the barrier that's the exponential decay of ψ. And how it emerges faint on the other side tunneled, but weakened.
This isn't sci-fi. Your USB drive uses this. The Sun uses this to fuse hydrogen. Your DNA mutates because of this.
Physics is weirder than fiction.

When a particle is extremely small ..it is just a vibration i guess so it can move through the wall
