the northwest direction.
Electrons moving horizontally toward the north are pushed downward.

How is quantum tunneling important to our existence here on Earth?
A) It plays a crucial role in nuclear fusion in the Sun, so that our Sun would not shine brightly without it. B) It explains how neutron stars are able to stay stable rather than collapsing under their strong gravity. C) It explains why electrons in atoms gradually fill different energy levels, thus making chemistry possible. D) It is important to understanding the law of conservation of energy.
