  2. Wormhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

    A wormhole is a hypothetical structure which connects disparate points in spacetime. It may be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). Wormholes are based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. [1]

  3. Non-orientable wormhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-orientable_wormhole

    The alternative way of connecting the surfaces makes the "connection map" appear the same at both mouths. This configuration reverses the "handedness" or "chirality" of any objects passing through. If a spaceship pilot writes the word "IOTA" on the inside of their forward window, then, as the ship's nose passes through the wormhole and the ship's window intersects the surface, an observer at ...

  4. Ellis drainhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_drainhole

    The Ellis drainhole is the earliest-known complete mathematical model of a traversable wormhole.It is a static, spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein vacuum field equations augmented by inclusion of a scalar field minimally coupled to the geometry of space-time with coupling polarity opposite to the orthodox polarity (negative instead of positive):

    The wormhole metric has the proper-time form =, where = + = + (+) = + (+) [+ (⁡)] and is the drainhole parameter that survives after the parameter of the Ellis drainhole solution is set to 0 to stop the ether flow and thereby eliminate gravity.

  6. Vision in toads - Wikipedia

    Results showed that there were no "worm-detectors" or "enemy-detectors" at the level of the retina. Instead, he found that the optic tectum and the thalamic-pretectal region (in the diencephalon) play significant roles in the analysis and interpretation of visual stimuli (summarized in Ewert 1974, 2004; Ewert and Schwippert 2006).

  7. Feature detection (nervous system) - Wikipedia

    Using worm and anti-worm stimuli like these, Ewert identified that the prey-recognition system in the visual pathway of the toad is based on a number of innate release mechanisms. In response to a worm-like moving stimulus, the toad exhibited the following behaviors: orienting, snapping, or mouth wiping.

  8. It also seems like the wormhole part of the picture isn't emphasized strongly enough -- too much of the green grid. bcasterline t 02:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC) Oppose, and not because I thought a wormhole was for those crawling little things but because of low resolution. Neat concept for the diagram, though it could be a little bit more clear.

  9. Roman ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_ring

    In general relativity, a Roman ring (proposed by Matt Visser in 1997 [1] and named after the Roman arch, a concept proposed by Mike Morris and Kip Thorne in 1988 and named after physicist Tom Roman) [2] is a configuration of wormholes where no subset of wormholes is near to chronology violation, though the combined system can be arbitrarily close to chronology violation.
