I vaguely recall reading somewhere that electron tunnelling also happens instantaneously.
Isn't that because the electrons push each other?
"A European research project has demonstrated field effect transistors in which the gate (channel) is controlled via quantum tunnelling rather than by thermal injection, reducing gate voltage from ~1 volt to 0.2 volts and reducing power consumption by up to 100x. If these transistors can be scaled up into VLSI chips, they will significantly improve the performance per power of integrated circuits."
Interesting.

Edit:
Almost tempted to buy that article, €30 sounds a bit much for a peek though

I have one related question: how could they capture pictures so fast?

A judge rulled you can use Einstein's image.

Einstein said he was wrong.
LEE SMOLIN -- EINSTEIN'S LEGACY--WHERE ARE THE "EINSTEINIANS"? -- LOGOS 4.3 SUMMER 2005
Special relativity was the result of 10 years of intellectual struggle, yet Einstein had convinced himself it was wrong within two years of publishing it. He rejected his theory, even before most physicists had come to accept it, for reasons that only he cared about. For another 10 years, as the world of physics slowly absorbed special relativity, Einstein pursued a lonely path away from it.

Lest they be forgotten...and let the USA win.

The UK's involvement in WW2 was also helped a great deal by John Logie Baird and his invention of Radar.

More and more I am convinced that Einstein was an Alien or Alien human hybrid and not a pure Human being.
Either that or a time traveller from the future who saw that WW2 needed to be won so he came back and let the USA win.
No, he was an earthling and we are aliens.

Why is it so many otherwise quite bright folks seem to need to credit extra-human influence? No, The Egyptians built the Pyramids. Einstein was every bit as human and fallible as all of us; just a bit more focused on issues we are not. He WORKED to come up with his ideas. ( An maybe a lot of that work was also his first wife)
Besides, I still have to believe time is unidirectional. No paradox. Bi-directional time may work in the math, and as I understand there is no compelling reason it can't be. But, it is messy. Nature tends not to be messy. Nature likes the simple answer.

And did he do that by making sure that some lady dies in a traffic accident, as she was meant to ?
