Physicists Propose New Kind of Quantum Tunneling

KentuckyFC writes to tell us that scientists from the UK and Germany are proposing a third kind of quantum tunneling. They propose that a quantum particle is capable of changing into a pair of "virtual particles" capable of passing through a potential barrier before changing back. The supposition also provides some interesting methods of possibly testing string theory. So many interesting and useful possibilities, I guess that just means it will be debunked faster than other scientific theories.

Mine was intended as humorous, too, so let's all relax.

Ok, Jane. I'm all relaxed, so very relaxed... what now?
