You haven’t answered my question, which is what isn’t conserved in tunneling? QM prevents us from talking about how transitions happen, only what the initial and final states are. If something isn’t conserved, I don’t know what it is, but the apparent physical impossibility of tunneling, in and of itself, isn’t a violation of conservation.

There’s no question to answer if you’re going to say something like, “the apparent physical impossibility of tunneling, in and of itself, isn’t a violation of conservation.”

Read the article. Understand tunneling. Apply that understanding to the current article. Then start asking me questions. But by then it will be too late, freepers will have moved on.

Perhaps you should sign up on Vortex-L to access minds more versed in physics, as well as those versed in the circular reasoning you’ve presented.

“what isn’t conserved in tunneling?” Hmmmm...positronic pay stations and orbital off ramps.
