This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I took physics in high school, so I'm basically a qualified expert. I can confirm that quantum mechanics tell us that this is possible. Exceedingly unlikely, but possible.
The satistical chances of every single atom in your body just randomly dispersing and you vanishing is not 0. Just a very, very small percentage.
The statistical chances of only a spot on your body doing that is near infinitely more likely than the first scenario tho.
The statistical chance using our current models and understanding.
We have never observed such a large amount of atoms dispersing through quantum effects simultaneously. There may be some process we are unaware of preventing this.
Which is to say, there is a non-zero chance the chance of this scenario is exactly zero.
From what i know its also possible for a hand to phase through a table but even if someone would slap a table from the start to end of the universe it would be unlikely to happen (i forgot the thickness of the table)
