Quantum Physics for Kids

Author: Subatomic Tanvi

Tanvi Gopalan is a 11 year old member of American Mensa who loves Quantum Physics. She teaches all about quantum physics in a fun and simple way. Quantum physics is the study of the smallest things in the universe, and it's one of the most fascinating and important branches of science. But it can also be very confusing, especially for kids. In this podcast, Tanvi explains complex concepts like entanglement, superposition, uncertainty principle and a lot more, in a way that anyone can understand. So whether you're a kid, a parent, or just someone curious about quantum physics, subscribe NOW!

Quantum Tunneling - The Glitch That Makes Our Universe (And Our Generation) Work
Episode 31
Saturday, 18 October, 2025

What if a particle could just... walk through a solid wall? It turns out they can, and it's not science fiction! This bizarre phenomenon is called Quantum Tunneling, and it’s less of a "glitch" and more of a fundamental feature that makes our universe work. Join Subatomic Tanvi as we answer the big questions (and laugh a lot): How can a particle be somewhere it doesn't have the energy to go? Do waves "poke holes" to get through? And why would the sun stop shining—and your flash drives stop working—without this weird quantum trick? From its 1928 discovery to its role in modern tech, this episode makes the impossible easy to understand.
