True. Things don't. Quantum particles do. Tunnelling is a proven part of quantum physics. The sun would not shine without tunnelling.
Yes, it is more important for electrons than for other particles, but all sub-atomic particles can tunnell.
"Tunnelling" is simply what happens when a particle frees itself from it's physical location even though it theoretically does not have the energy required to do so. It is not magic.
No offense, Fish. I would suggest reading more about QM before you "don't" bash it.
