    What Are Wormholes and How Do They Work?

    :) I know, and I'm not sure I'd even want to find out if I could. Just wanted to get the idea of this whole theory for a piece of fiction I'm writing, but I know that it's a seriously considered theory and I don't like making mistakes (even in fiction). If I continue to this for further...

    What Are Wormholes and How Do They Work?

    Right. Aren't the implications of this all far too complex to even seriously consider? How can we know that this time dilation wouldn't affect the entire wormhole not just one mouth? How could it ever even be physically possible to move a wormhole at all, let alone maintain it near extreme...

    What Are Wormholes and How Do They Work?

    Okay, you don't technically move faster than light, but you arrive at B before light traveling outside the wormhole, but across the same distance? So, have you not still traveled to B faster than light? In our universe? Like teleportation? Why is it that some Physicists think this would enable...

    The speed of light and time travel

    Aha, okay, thank you Goodison Lad. I think I can pretty much put that at rest for now then. But a couple of bonus questions if you don't mind: How can it be that light does not experience any time, yet we can measure it's time to cross a certain distance from our perspective? And, is it then...

    The speed of light and time travel

    Right, thanks. So, if a photon did have a perspective it wouldn't be within the realms of time or space anyway? It sees no distance as we do? It does not have any concept of time to be moved back or forward through as we do, we just witness it in this way, through other dimensions, our perceived...

    What Are Wormholes and How Do They Work?

    Okay, well if the wiki page is all the 'basics' I definitely didn't understand much of it. Perhaps I need a crash course in physics. I'll try and ask more specifically. So as far as I understand, a traversable wormhole (if they can even exist) would enable you to travel faster than light speed...

    What Are Wormholes and How Do They Work?

    I know it must be a little annoying to have someone ask for a simple explanation of something that isn't simple, but I've been trying to find out in various ways and nothing seems to explain exactly what a wormhole is. Sort of, not just how does it work but also how does it occur and what is it...

    The speed of light and time travel

    So, I'm certainly not a physicist but I think I've just about started to grasp the concept of relativity and spacetime - maybe. A little bit. Hopefully. Anyway, I've always felt the concept of time travel is ridiculous, or at least backwards time travel, and I was trying to prove this to myself...
