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

I would like it if @minutephysics made a @tenminutephysics so they could actually explain this.
