  • Waitwhat?

  • This makes me want to make two dirt hills, roll a pebble down in between them, wait a few days, and see where the pebble is.

  • Some electrons just don't stay in their orbitals....

  • Oh christ, i'm stuck in the minutephysics video loop.

  • WHAT

  • DESID ERRATA .......2% OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE.

  • the beginning sounds like blues clue

  • i learn much more while watching a video i've learned much more from this guy then the actual class that lasts 45 minutes

  • @Raztheeccentric When this is taught in class the barrier is usually of infinite height (to simplify calculations, i guess). that's why the particle cant exist within the barrier. In reality though, there aren't any infinite barriers
