Impossible: Physics beyond the Edge

Quantum Tunneling (1x19)

Date de diffusion: Jan 01, 2010

Discover how phenomena deemed impossible in classical physics are a regular feature of the quantum world—notably quantum tunneling, which is the ability of a subatomic particle to surmount a seemingly impassable energy barrier. One result of this effect: Black holes emit a slow trickle of energy known as Hawking radiation.
