Their grounds were calculations that suggested that the time
it takes a particle to tunnel through a barrier increases with the thickness of the barrier until tunneling time reaches a maximum; beyond that maximum, tunneling time stays the same regardless of barrier thickness.
Since the passage says that the time taken increases, as the thickness increases
Can't we infer the speed would decline with increasing thickness?
