Yes you're right cianfa72. Spacelike slice taken here for the wormhole is symmetrical throughout its asymptotic geometry. They are assuming a stationary spacelike slice (like a screenshot in 3D world).

Thank you PeterDonis. Just one tiny clarification i would like to confirm with you is when you said "one spatial dimension taken out", i think it could've been more precise by saying "spatial (angular) dimension". Though, the meaning is beautifully conveyed. But someone new to GR (like me)...

Hey cianfa72, appreciate your question. Thank you PeterDonis for such a great explanation. Hope you got your answer with that cianfa72. BTW, i am just a high school sophomore trying to learn about wormholes (theoretically only), i don't think i would have been able to give a detailed...

Thank you, Ibix. I think this was mainly a misunderstanding on my part due to informal language and visual intuition. I now see that thinking in terms of balancing forces isn’t appropriate in GR, and that the correct description involves geodesic focusing and defocusing. My confusion was really...

A region of negative energy density hints a little towards negative mass. So the throat of wormholes have very powerful attractive gravitational forces. So in order to stabilize a wormhole we think of using a region of negative energy to create a strong repulsive force that can keep the throat...
