The above image is supposed to give you a somewhat funny reference to the subject.

Smallest particles exist as probability waves. If a barrier is thin enough they can happen to exist on the other side of it.

The odds of you running through the wall are astronomical, but never not 0.

You prob know now, but its a popular meme, "step 1: draw a circle. Step 2: draw the rest of the owl." Generally means its not well explained

I didn't check, but Id wager the guy didn't mean that the article was bad, just that the image really leaves questions
