The discussion revolves around the feasibility of creating nano-sized wormholes for the purpose of sending information faster than light to distant stars, and whether such a method could facilitate communication with extraterrestrial civilizations. The conversation touches on theoretical aspects of wormholes, their requirements, and implications for astrophysics and metaphysics.
Participants generally disagree on the possibility of creating wormholes and the implications of such creations for faster-than-light communication. There is no consensus on the validity of claims regarding laboratory-created wormholes, and the discussion remains unresolved regarding the feasibility of the original proposition.
Participants express uncertainty about the existence of exotic matter and the theoretical underpinnings of wormholes. There are references to articles and claims that are not universally accepted or verified within the discussion.
I've came across some articles stating scientists have created wormholes in the lab.Ibix said:We can't create wormholes full stop.
As far as we're aware wormholes require exotic matter which has never been observed and doesn't exist as far as we know. For wormholes, in short, I'm afraid relativity takes "you can't do that" and turns it into "you could do that if you could do something impossible first".
Where? They're either rubbish or you are misunderstanding something.GatherEvidence said:I've came across some articles stating scientists have created wormholes in the lab.
How so? Your question as far as I can see started with "if we can create nano sized wormholes". We can't. So we can't reach alien civilizations that way. Did I miss something in your OP?GatherEvidence said:Nevertheless my question was different.
Welcome to PF.GatherEvidence said:Hello I'm new to this forum and interested in astrophysics and metaphysics. My first question here is if we can create nano sized wormholes to send information faster than light to other stars for example. We don't need to travel if we could send small satellites or even just radiowaves to the stars out there. Wouldnt we be able to eventually reach alien civilizations out there?
As of 2022, the Voyagers are still in operation past the outer boundary of the heliosphere in interstellar space.
The Drake equation is a probabilistic argument used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy.[1][2]
No you didn't. If you give us a reference, we might be able to tell you what you did read.GatherEvidence said:I've came across some articles stating scientists have created wormholes in the lab.
I suspect that the reference is this one or another source for the same story. https://weirdnews.info/2021/05/01/w...es-of-faster-than-light-space-travel-a-boost/Vanadium 50 said:No you didn't. If you give us a reference, we might be able to tell you what you did read.
In any event, a wormhole will collapse on itself before light can traverse it.
