Quantum
Application of Quantum Tunneling and its relation with DNA and cancer!!!!
Don’t know what is quantum superposition and Uncertainty
principle???
Don’t worry, read my article on quantum superposition and
uncertainty principle….
Most of the phenomenon in quantum mechanics or quantum world
has no visible impact in macro-world and in day to day life but, quantum
tunnelling is one of the very few quantum phenomenon which has great impact in
our macro-world.
The structure of our own bodies is determined by DNA
molecule. But, the strange thing is that protons within this molecule experience
quantum tunnelling and can change our genetic makeup!!!
These random genetic mutations caused by quantum tunnelling may
even be linked to the existence of cancer. DNA mutations which
results in paralysis, cancer and many other disorders are due to quantum tunnelling
during fertilization or during DNA replication some of the genes molecule
tunnel itself and pairs with some other gene (nucleotide) which results in improper
cell growth and development. But, more research is needed in this regard.

Apart from the application of quantum tunnelling in nuclear
fusion, DNA and Cancer, it has also used to develop advance technologies like
tunnelling diode, tunnelling microscope, super conductors and transistors.
Tunnelling also occurs during phenomenon like radioactive decay and in flash discs
(pendrives).
To know basics of quantum world, astronomy and space exploration you can check out my book "Through the wormhole" on amazon kindle.
