car tunneling

[Wildstar]

 

I heard a story on coast to Coast about a guy who was driving a car down the road and someone pulled out in front of him. he was doing 90 and had no way of swerving to avoid the other car. the next thing he knew he was on the other side of the car. He looked in his rear view mirror and the guy in the other car was still sitting there looking in the direction in which the first guy came. I know that it is possible for a large macroscopic object to tunnel through a barrier but you would have to wait longer than the lifetime of the universe for such a tunneling to occur.

 

Is it possible that this occurred somehow. Other callers also called in and related stories of driving through other cars in an accident and appearing on the other side. Is anything like this possible or were they all lying? The only way I can see it happening is if the car tunneled or If what I suspect is right and we are in a simulation, they or something simply rewrote physics for that specific event. Also i was registered here and then i was not registered? did they do something to the accounts. because I posted this before and they moved it to pseudo. but then my account got deleted and I don't know what happened.

If there was no chance of it happening then it didn't happen. The chance of something like a grain of sand "tunneling" through a piece of paper is a macroscopic event that is unlikely to occur in the lifetime of the universe (just a guess; can anyone confirm?). A car passing through another would be ridiculously less possible.

 

A more probable situation is something like this: There was a way of swerving to avoid the car. Possibly the subconscious mind was able to react, and through a combination of quick reaction and luck, the driver was able to squeeze by. Meanwhile his conscious mind may have been in shock or otherwise unable to register or recall what happened in that short amount of time. So it only seemed that it happened too quick to be possible, according to the conscious mind.

 

The story relies on human perception. It is astronomically more probable that that wasn't so accurate, than it is for a car to tunnel through another. It would also be more probable for the driver's brain to instantly completely spontaneously combust, than for a car to tunnel through another. It would also be less improbable for the driver's memories to be instantly randomly replaced by false memories of an entire alternate life, and to wonder why he'd suddenly teleported into a moving car.

It sounds like it was a glitch in the matrix.

I have to agree. There have been a couple of times where I've avoided car accidents that seemed certain. I had to pull over and sit and think to work out exactly what happened and how I avoided the prang. It does feel to the conscious mind like some sort of magic, one second you're seeing the other car getting bigger and bigger and the next second you're past the danger. It leaves you feeling as if time got quite out of joint and that "There is a hole in your mind".
