When I was a kid I was convinced that I could do it if I honed my mind sharp enough, and mastered my body. I’m still not convinced that it’s impossible, because I didn’t have the discipline to achieve perfection.

Anyone who - upon learning they are made of atoms - does not try to align them with another object so they may pass through it, lacks a scientific mind.

Well according to quantum theory, you can (the possibility is just very low)

You can, there’s just an extremely low chance that you will.

When you think about it like that, there’s an insanely higher (but still ultimately miniscule) chance that only some part of you will make it through the wall and then just leave you stuck there.

Also the wall is a bit more than one layer of atoms thick, so wouldn’t there be a high chance part of you only tunnels partially through the wall?

We also exhibit wave-particle duality. It’s just that our wavelength is on the order of 10^-25 m or something.

You joke, but in theory it can be done. However, you also need to be completely isolated in a hard vacuum.

There is no duality, there are only waves, and very, very lazy waves.
