In the FOX/Sci-Fi series Sliders, a method is found to create a wormhole that allows travel not between distant points but between different parallel universes; [119] [120] objects or people that travel through the wormhole begin and end in the same location geographically (e.g. if one leaves San Francisco, one will arrive in an alternate San ...
Time travel in modern fiction is sometimes achieved by space and time warps, stemming from the scientific theory of general relativity. [9] Stories from antiquity often featured time travel into the future through a time slip brought on by traveling or sleeping, in other cases, time travel into the past through supernatural means, for example brought on by angels or spirits.
Real or not, wormholes can still give scientists crucial insight into our universe.
According to current theories on the nature of wormholes, construction of a traversable wormhole would require the existence of a substance with negative energy, often referred to as "exotic matter". More technically, the wormhole spacetime requires a distribution of energy that violates various energy conditions , such as the null energy ...
Traversable wormholes may be more than science fiction. Three new studies propose new theories for how to construct one. Human-Safe Wormholes Could Exist in the Real World, Studies Find

Wormhole travel as envisioned by Les Bossinas for NASA, c. 1998. The impossibility of faster-than-light relative speed applies only locally. Wormholes might allow effective superluminal (faster-than-light) travel by ensuring that the speed of light is not exceeded locally at any time. While traveling through a wormhole, subluminal (slower-than ...
Hyperspace is typically described as chaotic and confusing to human senses; often at least unpleasant – transitions to or from hyperspace can cause symptoms such as nausea, for example – and in some cases even hypnotic or dangerous to one's sanity.
