    Process Wormhole
Click For Summary
Black holes are confirmed phenomena resulting from energy concentration within a specific gravitational radius, leading to the possibility of creating quantum black holes in the future. While wormholes remain theoretical, discussions suggest that they might be created through quantum methods, potentially arising from "quantum foam." However, stabilizing such wormholes would require "exotic matter," which violates the weak energy condition. Key references include the Morris-Thorne-Yurtserver paper on wormhole creation and Kip Thorne's book for a more accessible overview. The exploration of these concepts continues to evolve as scientific understanding deepens.

TL;DR
Do we know process of creating wormhole?
Black hole is real in nature and we know what is reason of it. If energy concentrate in sphere with radius which less gravitational radius then second cosmic velocity is speed of light and create black hole. We know process which can create these. If we know it we can realize quantum black hole useful colliders or other method in the future. In the past we didn't know about fact black hole is real or only theoretical object. Today we registered black hole and know that it's real object because experiment show it. We can't find wormhole too. But do we know about process which can create it like in situations with theory of black hole (black hole can realize when energy (mass) concentrate in sphere with little radius)? Or we only know that it can be real. If we know it tell me please what should I read for know theory which tell about it?

As I recall, to create a wormhole classically one would need a time machine :(. (Such as, for instance, closed time-like curves). For a reference, see the Morris-Thorne-Yurtserver paper, "Wormholes, Time machines, and the weak energy condition", https://authors.library.caltech.edu/9262/1/MORprl88.pdf. See the section on "wormhole creation".

Morris, et al, suggests that wormholes might be created by quantum methods, possibly even arising naturally from the hypothetical "quantum foam". To be useful, though, such wormholes would need to be stabilized. This requires "exotic matter", matter that violates the weak energy condition. The above paper talks about this in more depth.

Kip Thorne, one of the co-authors of the above paper, talks a bit about this very briefly, in more popular and less technical language, in his book, "Black holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy". The book is not bad for a popularization, though at PF the moderators recommend posting references to peer-reviewed papers.

Thank you for answer. I'll think about it
 
Moderator's note: Spin-off from another thread due to topic change. In the second link referenced, there is a claim about a physical interpretation of frame field. Consider a family of observers whose worldlines fill a region of spacetime. Each of them carries a clock and a set of mutually orthogonal rulers. Each observer points in the (timelike) direction defined by its worldline's tangent at any given event along it. What about the rulers each of them carries ? My interpretation: each...
