Through the Hill: How Quantum Mechanics Breaks the Rules

An exploration of quantum tunneling defying classical intuition. In classical mechanics, a particle without sufficient energy cannot cross a potential energy barrier. However, quantum mechanics introduces wave-particle duality and probability amplitudes, allowing particles to slip right through.

This deep-dive article covers wave functions, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and real-world occurrences like stellar fusion in main-sequence stars governed by quantum probability.
