Quantum Tunneling

Quantum tunneling works because the barrier is also made of particles whose location is not fixed. Sometimes, the barrier particles aren't there to block the tunneling particle, and it escapes. Think of a jail break from a prison where the guards are numerous and on random patrol schedules and routes. Every once in a while, if you get lucky and time it just right, you can walk out while all the guards just happen to be absent or looking the other way.  The more guards there are, the less likely this opportunity is to occur.

No hocus, and certainly no pocus, required.

Good advice

When dealing with law enforcement:

Deny, deny, counter-accuse, stand on your rights.

Never tell nobody nothing!
