Is Quantum Tunneling the Key to Life and existence of the Universe?

[@johnhawthorne9123]

At 4:00 in describing Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, Ash says it depicts that “we cannot know with 100% certainty what the position of [any mass] is”. It’s not a matter of “knowing”. QM implies that there no such thing as absolute position to begin with till you measure it in which case the position resolves (via the apparent collapse of the wave function or splitting into another universe as per two dominant theories trying to make sense of this). This property of QM then transcends our everyday usage of “knowing” which would imply that the universe knows a truth (an absolute position in this case) that we cannot perceive, to a meta-level implication that there is no truth to begin with and that the universe creates the truth (the absolute position in this case) at the time of measurement to confirm to a probabilistic function. This is what makes QM fairly trippy.

[@johnhawthorne9123]

This property of QM by the way is what freaked Einstein out. That “God” himself (the Universe) did not “know” the truth about nature at a fundamental level, and rolled the dice (conformed to a probabilistic function) at the time of measurement (which then raised the issue of what “measurement” is and who is doing the measurement and all that jazz which is the discussion around the “Measurement Problem” in QM).

While the math behind it can be tricky, the basic derivation of tunneling in particular is not too complicated in concept. It's basically a condition we impose on the function that describes the particle (wave function). Imagine we have 3 sections: one before the barrier (section a, x < 0 with x the position of the particle), one in the barrier (section b, 0

The horizontal gate in your diagram was the situation when I entered the industry in 1983. By the time I left the industry in 2018, topologies had become so tiny that new geometric arrangements of terminals was necessary. The 'fin" type of transistor was discovered to have a much higher barrier against tunneling while consequently reducing the amount of leakage current to such minimal levels that the much more densely packed microprocessors could operate for a day on smaller batteries. The reason all that computational power fits in your smartphone is the fin transistor.

It seems to me that our day-to-day experience of interacting with matter at a classical level is akin to a user interface on a computer and the real “engine” behind it all - the code and software - is the quantum world. It’s as if classical mechanics is the computer and its operating system and quantum mechanics is the circuitry and software behind it all. We know enough to operate the computer but we don’t know enough yet to code the software and build the circuits.

While this is true in one specific reality it can't be true from the perspective of all potential realities, above and below. Unless the simulations are cyclic there should be a primary reality that is objective. Which begs the question, how was it created? Did we create the creators or are we the primary?
