superfluids such as liquid helium3, can pass through solid objects

so I would imagine supersolids can also, possibly, pass through other solid objects

and that's because superfluids and supersolids have quantum mechanical behavior at the macroscopic level (correct me if I'm wrong)

if a massless ether does exist and is electrically neutral, then it would logically pass through all matter unhindered

there would be no drag, no bending, no resistance or "detours" of any kind

is that it? i thought it was because superfluids have zero viscosity so they "slip" through the cracks of solid things

they have both zero viscosity and nonzero viscosity at the same time

they tunnel through matter

fake news ! jk

just as sound waves can pass through solid materials, superfluids can too

the only limiting factor is probability

the thicker and denser the barrier, the lower the probability of tunneling through

the probability falls off exponentially with thickness

yes

im not sure if supersolids would do that

liquid helium3 easily passes thru Cork, but not not likely at all through glass

I mean it has to be below a certain temperature

supersolids would in theory also pass through barriers

do the solids retain shape ?

yea

kind of like the flash

but the opposite because a supersolid would have to very slowly pass through

the slower the better

it's related to the wavelength of the matter

if you cool down a solid object cold enough, it could behave as if it was a single atom or a single subatomic particle having only one wavelength

and if the wavelength of that object is equal to or longer than the barriers around it, then there's a probability it can tunnel through

I don't think any supersolids have been created yet though

if they have, my guess is the Bose-Einstein condensate would be the closest example of a supersolid

it's just a guess though

I once read somewhere that atoms could be made to pass through solid barriers if you move the atoms slow enough

because particles are really just waves

a particle is not one wave, typically, it is the sum of many waves superpositioned together

my interpretation is that particles are the sum of many waves in the ether

the ether is the carrier

and the particles are the vibrations

if you get the vibrations to the right frequencies, they can propagate through barriers and form on the other side

You know what's really strange about a superfluid, it's not that far off from a super solid

you can't really stir a superfluid

if you do, you will create a nonsuperfluid vortex that spins, but outside of the vortex the superfluid remains absolutely still (or constantly spinning if it was already spinning)

it's very strange and I don't fully understand it

superfluids confuse me.
