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?

Blowjob time.

Don't you get it? The human race is doomed anyway. Do you think Jesus is going to let you leave the planet? No. In Genesis, Jesus gave man dominion over the Earth. Not the sky. Not for you.

When the Wright Brothers took flight, they were offending God. And we just kept on doing it, over and over and over. We even landed on the moon, which was not man's to claim.

So flying is therefore a sign of the end times. Flying in space is just making it worse for ourselves. You can't be a good Christian and also believe in the possibility of faster than light travel.
