it's because of mass manufacturing and machine washing of laundry. since there are a huge number of people who have the same socks as you all using a washing machine / dryer with similar specs to you, occasionally the chaos of that system (closed, behind a door) can cause a temporal pair o' socks that entangles two socks in entirely different locations together. Big Laundry is actually doing this on purpose while running their own machines just full of currency so they can pull a bunch of money through worhmholes
little did you know, your socks are entangled and are linked by ER=EPR Correspondence, therefore the smallest size of the particle is the size of the Einstein-Rosen Bridge, if in theory your sock gained negative energy cause by an unknown event of the drawer, and was shrunk faster than the bridge can collapse, your sock has now teleported to its entangled pair.
No. . . Including that would INCREASE the odds since you can think of the hand as something that isn’t N independent bodies, but it’s not 1 cohesive body either, so it’s somewhere in between. But even then, the odds of a single atom teleporting through the table is pretty low too

Let's just say "practically 0%". It's not 0% but it's about as close to 0% as one could possibly get, aside from the calculations concerning infinitely small numbers. I now truly understand just how unlikely that is.
Could you imagine if the chances were higher? Like you’re just walking around your house thinking about what to have for lunch and then you just quantum tunnel through the freaking floor

My Earth Science teacher in 7th grade would always tell us that if we could run through a wall, we would get 100s on our quizzes. Safe to say it didnt happen
I study maths and this is my calculation: It can either happen or not happen so it's 50/50. In other words, slap the table twice and on the second time you will always go through. That's just the facts man, I'm sorry
well it is 50/50 but that doesn't mean it'll go through in 2 attempts. Even if you did it as many times as it said in the video, it still might not happen, or it might happen first try. So yes, it's 50/50 but bent toward one of the 50's
Reminds me of a story I saw on Reddit a while ago where a mom was living in her childhood home. They went to renovate their bathroom and found a hairbrush under the floor. The mom went pale white, and explained that she had dropped her hairbrush as a child and it just vanished before her eyes. She eventually dismissed it as her imagination until the renovation. Of course, it's Reddit and there could also be other explanations, but it just makes you think.
The thing about statistics is that, even if the odds are 1/10^(shitload), you could slap your hand on the table 5 times and it could happen in one of those 5 times.
I like to imagine this has happened exactly once in human history to some poor dude in Ancient Rome or something whose friends never believed him and whose life was forever changed by that time his hand just phased through a table for seemingly no reason
The thing is, it's not that you have to do it X number of times for it to work, it's that you have an X chance of it working every single time you do it. So you could do it in 5 tries, or you could do it 10 times the probability number and still not do it.

How did you get this number? The formula for transition probability through a finite potential barrier is T=exp(-2GL), If we say the effective size of a carbonlike atom (wood) is about 1nm = L. Average room-temp thermal energy of a “hand molecule” is about 0.01eV, If we say the potential barrier is about 1000ish eV at 0.001nm proximity then G = sqrt(2m(U-E)/hbar^2) = 10^14, such that the transmission probability is about on the order of 10^(10^5) or so (of one atom crossing). Still enormously small but nothing compared to your guess…
Bro you won’t believe it but I just quantum tunneled my hand through my desk! My friend: I’ll buy you a lottery ticket. If you don’t win I don’t believe you
Thats the thr entirely true probability. Since your hand molecules could pass through the tables molecules, the chance of that separate from the quantum tunneling result would be 1/(5.2^61), which the quantum tunneling result could be comparatively neglected
The real probability would actually be a lot lower than this because 1) he didn’t normalize his Gaussian 2) he didn’t account for the near infinite potential wall that the table would create
