Quantum tunnelling and wormholes are usually treated as separate phenomena.
They aren’t.
Both are: • access to classically forbidden regions
• permitted briefly, not permanently
• exponentially suppressed by scale
• locally causal, globally surprising
Same geometric process.
Different size of deformation.
Physics didn’t forbid them.
It just made them expensive.

Tunnelling, Wormholes, and the Geometry of the “Forbidden”

Why quantum tunnelling and spacetime shortcuts are the same process, seen at different scales

Quantum tunnelling - Wikipedia

A team of three wins the Nobel Prize .. and two of them are immigrants to the USA. Funny how that works. #Superconductivity #QuantumTunnelling

Please, Radio4, your metaphors are destroying my will to live! That's the plan, isn't it!? 😱

"quantum tunnelling is like a barrier, think of it as like a hill and the electron needs to have enough petrol to go over it" [paraphrase but very close]
