Wormholes Definition and 113 Threads

i think this is kinda dumb but oh well Can someone give me a detailed explianation. All i know is that they are holes thorugh space time that make a strait line not the shortest route, and they are only open for short times and mircoscopic. Also could water hold them open?

How would it create a shortcut? It doesn't make sense. Yes, if you drill a hole through the Earth and travel through the hole you will reach the other side of the Earth quicker than if you were to travel on the surface. However, in space there is no surface. Space is space, a 3D plane in which...

Simply by curiosity. I have readed a lot about worm holes indivulgative literature. Now i would like to read a bit of serious math about them. A preliminar research have given me various articles, but none goes to deep or it assumes some previous familiarity. It isn´t really...

Actually, this is one of the question I was wondering about. If mathematics allows for wormholes (And there's really no point in asking if they exist), then the following is true? Through time dialations pertaining to relativity, it would seem that if there's enough of a dilation through...

Can anyone please expalin to me how it's possible for wormholes to lead into different parts of space, and even time? Thanks.

Just a thought. Space-time consists of three special dimensions (x,y,z) and one temporal dimension (time). These four dimensions are warped within another special dimension (hyperspace) which is perpendicular to the three perpendicular x,y,z dimensions. The warping occurs around anything...

So a wormhole is a ring within the event horizon. The idea is you go in at the right angle and you won't hit anything in the middle so you go into the hole. So where does it go? It comes out another one. That's the idea. There seems to be many flaws in how this could possibly work so first...

I was reading an interview with Carl Sagan, where he described how a wormhole would theoretically work if you travel between 2 points, point A and point B. However, is it possible that we can not only use this to traverse space, but time (assuming wormholes exist)? For instance, if we find a...

In my mind, I tried to overcome the horrendous problem of having to carry every gram of reaction mass with your space-craft. Surely, how could a person using three dimensions recycle mass without having the recycled fuel slow down the craft? In three-dimensions, Newton's Third Law could be a...

HOW DO SCIENtists calculate worm holes? differential geometry? what do they do? i know a worm has 4d xyz and time...oike what do they do? the distance from Earth to a worm and then do mental math?

[SOLVED] IN the Future... Blackholes or Wormholes Say that in the future mankind was able to master Black hole or Worm hole technology. Kinda like in Event Horizon technologically. Is it possible to master such a power? We could develope Black Hole Vacum Cleaners, Black Hole dumps, etc. If a...

[SOLVED] Black Holes vs wormholes when a planet has a black hole outside its orbit. and you were on the surface. would time slow down as the black hole gets closer? because the black hole is pulling everything towards it. i know nothing can escape a black hole, not even light. As we know...

Einstein says that when a star collapses into a black hole,a singularity forms punching a hole in the fabric of spacetime creating a wormhole to a parallel universe.on this side of the wormhole matter from the star or any stray matter entering the event horizon is teleported through the wormhole...
