Can a solid penetrate another solid without affecting it?

Question

IN OTHER WORDS, CAN A SOLID SUPERIMPOSE ON ANOTHER SOLID AS WAVES(ENERGIES) DO,IF IT IS GIVEN THAT ENERGY AND MATTER ARE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE SAME PHYSICAL QUANTITY AND HENCE ARE INTERCONVERTIBLE.

Answer 1

When you are talking about the sub-atomic world of quantum mechanics then yes. The uncertainty principle allows for random teleportations of particles through potential barriers and to appear and dissappear in various places.

Quantum mechanics is the a statistical theory which tells us how probable these motions (measurements) are.

The probabilities become extremely small in the everyday length scales you and I are used to. But given enough time you could theorectically walk through a door. The problem is, you don't have enough time in your life to overcome the small probability of this actually happening.

Answer 2

A 'solid' has mass, and exerts EM forces that make it feel solid.
So if you consider an electron to be solid, then sure it travels as a wave, and quantum tunneling is actually very common. So the answer in this case is yes.

On the other hand, if your definition of 'solid' is a macroscopic object, then the answer is 99.9999999+% no. As someone else mentioned, while it is possible, the probability of such a random event occurring is extremely small.

Usually the E=mc^2 energy-mass equivalence is only relevant in quantum events or nuclear reactions or some other case of extreme physics such as in a black hole.

Answer 3

Of couse, Yes.
You Yourself has provided the answer.
what you need to do is to accelerate the body to the velocity of light. As you know every body, has a Wave & Particle dual character, at that velocity the wave character will predominate & we may find out the wavelength by De Broglie's Theorem. We may also find out the frequency. Those De Broglie's waves can certainy superimpose without affecting each other.

But you know what It is only theoretically possible, as no device is discovered to accelerate a body to such an extent. However excellent question.

Answer 4

No, solid can not penetrate another solid without affectin it like a wave.
If so, the solid should reach the velocity of light at which condition the solid will no longer assume its status of solid. Rather it would become in a gaseous phase.

Answer 5

Yes...Theoretically it can quantum tunnel through...But EXTREMELY unlikely.
