How is that possible? The ball is interacting with its own atoms via the electromagnetic field, right? Providing enough of a repellant force so it doesn’t phase through itself. Why would the wall be any different?
I thought this kind of thing was quantum tunneling.

Generally speaking, I would say that Doctor Who is more about whimsy than fact.
SCIENTIFIC whimsy!
Though quantum mechanics come awfully damn close to “wibbly wobbly, timey wimey.”

New Who would let it actually happen when nobody was looking… then have the Doctor lament that without the ball, he’s just bored.

that indeed is quantum tunneling
