In the book, a Wrinkle in Time, is it possible...?

Question

to do what the little kid did, and vibrate your atoms to move through walls? Also, is it true that if all the atoms in your body where directly touching, you would be the size of a pinhead?

Answer 1

A lot of this stuff is based on scientific theories but I don't think we can know for sure about any of it.

Answer 2

It is theorized that gravity is caused by standing (repeating) waves, and that these waves are very local. Clusters of standing waves (physical objects) hit each other because they are in the same local space-time region. In essence, a material thing creates a repetition of a big standing wave and that wave hits other waves that are in the same spacetime dimension. The field of gravity sets the object in a particular space-time region.

However, if you modulate these waves (changing the force of gravity) and bring them into a higher state of quantum jitteriness (fuzziness) they will begin to interface with other dimensions, which are part of something known as "energy space". Objects exist partially in energy space and partially in normal "3 D" space. But the extent to which they fluctuate in between these two makes them more local or non-local. If a sufficient degree of interdimensional non-locality and quantum jitteriness is reached, the object (a person) won't be in the same space-time frame as a wall and can't possibly hit it. Somebody could then walk straight through a wall without injury, much like a ghost. In essence, you go around the wall by walking into other dimensions....

It has been shown that atoms can "tunnel" through solid objects. Single monotomic atoms have greater degrees of quantum freedom because they are not bound to our local space-time region by standing waves. They are very jittery and flighty compared with a big object, which operates according to the summation of the forces (atoms attached together behave as a single entity). This creates a standing wave....

So, yes, the vibration is significant when determining the space-time reality for a given object.

1.  No, it's not possible, because according to Heisenberg principles, you can only make *predictions* of where any specific atoms in any body will be at any given moment.  It's one of the underlying reasons why Star Trek-type transporters are not possible...computers would not be able to pinpoint the locations of every atom in your body...or in a wall that your body attempted to pass through.

2.  Yes, you would...if you could squeeze all the invisible space out of your body, you would be about the size of a pinhead.  But it would be a pinhead that weighs the same as your full body weight.  Scientists have long speculated the existence of such matter in outer space, in the intense gravitational fields of "black holes".  But a material like that cannot exist in the weak gravitational field of our planet...it would explode.
