      Yeah but that dimension hopping thing which I think is referring to quantum tunnelling sounds weird if you put it that way. They’re not balls jumping in and out of existence, rather they are defined by a wave function that map a probability distribution and can appear everywhere where the probability is non-zero. I’m not a physicist so take my explanation with some salt.

        All true except quantum tunneling, I thought that was when subatomic particles passed through an object, not in its own orbital. I also am not a physicist so I might be mistaken as well.
