7. The "Tunnel Effect"

The Tunnel Effect is by definition the propagation of EM waves with overluminic velocity (faster than light speed) and has been experimentally described.³ In this sense, this phenomenon is probably a small variant of the above described holes in the BF since both phenomena have the same effect (overluminic velocity). In consequence, it is logical to assume that both phenomena do also have the same cause (holes in the BF). Therefore small holes in the BF would probably be easy to produce in hollow conductors, either because a concentrated beam of EM waves makes field lines of the BF move away each other or because the BF is weakened due to the existence of some EM field (see also 3 in Discussion above).

If the Tunnel Effect is a tiny hole in the BF, in this hole, resistance is equal to zero, and photons can trespass the hole without any disturbance, so that their speed is accelerated beyond the speed of light. Of course, such artificial tiny holes in the BF are probably not perfect, so that there will always be a certain resistance. Therefore, particles will probably need a certain time to accelerate from their ground speed to overluminic speed. For this reason, in such a small space, we cannot expect very high velocities, and in effect, a typical value that has been measured here is 2c or 1.7c.^3,4
