The language of physics

Word fans, rejoice!
Symmetry is back with another list of 10 common words
that take on a new meaning when spoken by scientists.
Check out the first and second lists,
then take these physics words for a spin, too

===
Spin
It’s easy to imagine a spinning planet, ballerina or
quantum particle because all these objects have
concrete geometrical form.
#
Tunneling
Quantum tunneling is instead a phenomenon in which a particle
can pass through a barrier by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
#
Quintessence
Scientists use the term ''quintessence'' to discuss the
theoretical idea of an evolving type of dark energy
( Dark energy may be vacuum
