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]
Real or not, wormholes can still give scientists crucial insight into our universe.
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
The key to the whole idea is wormholes—specifically, a type of wormhole called a ring wormhole. Now, wormholes are already entirely theoretical, so this discussion is going to get weird. And ...
Negative energy appears in the speculative theory of wormholes, where it is needed to keep the wormhole open. A wormhole directly connects two locations which may be separated arbitrarily far apart in both space and time, and in principle allows near-instantaneous travel between them.
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.
The existence of a traversable nonorientable wormhole would seem to allow the conversion of matter to antimatter, and vice versa. A universe that includes one of these "non-orientable" connections does not allow a global definition of whether a particle is "really" matter or antimatter, and this sort of universe, with no global definition of ...
The upper light cone not only includes other spatial locations at the same time, but also does not include = at future times, and includes earlier times. When discussing the evolution of a system in general relativity , or more specifically Minkowski space , physicists often refer to a " light cone ".
