pass through walls?

Something has been on my mind. do you think that if we had enough energy, im saying more energy than there is present on earth, maybe more than the strict actual definition of energy and then walk right through a wall of say brink or steel or something, what i am saying is can we part the atoms? see atoms are not actual matter, they have protons and electrons spinning around the nucleus.. means some space. can we just push all thast by and go through and would form back behind you?!?!? what are your thoughts

Let's say we could.....how what would happen afterwards? Matter just falls to the ground and clings together mangled?

i dought it, id say you would have so much force and id say going fast to acheive such a powerful force, that you would just pass through kinda like water you would go through but would form back around you.

It would seem that the extream NRG would effect the "wall" that your walking through and maybe change it because of the spaces being altered. It would be more like u melting a whole in a wall as you go through. (plus NRG is usually given off as heat...)

And, if you're going that fast, you're probably already obliterated.

Re: pass through walls?

yes this would be possible (in theory).
it has to do with quantum uncertainty. Since we never can know the position of a particle exactly, the position becomes smeared out over space, only to fix itself on a certain point if we measure the particle. With this property, particles can 'tunnel' through classicly impossable barriers (this effect has been measured in great detail).
So if this can happen, then why don't we fall through the chair we're sitting on? the answer is that the probability (quantum mechanics only tells us something about probabilities) tunneling to happen is extremely small. (all the approx. 10^36 atoms of your body have to travel through all the 10^36 atoms of the chair....). So in everyday live we don't see this effect. Increasing the speed (and thus energy) of a particle does increase the tunneling probability, but, since we have a speed limit, never to a point where tunneling anything but a single particle woulhave a likely probability

Re: pass through walls?

I'd say the easiest way would be to "leap out" to the 4th dimension (well if we can). Then we can easily enter or exit a 3d room without having to walk through doors

Maybe you could use a fourth spacial dimension to bend or fold 3d space, and create a wormhole between the two points. A kind of teleporting thing.
