SUMMARY

Wormholes, as described in General Relativity (GR), connect different regions of spacetime, allowing for potential travel within our own universe. They do not necessarily lead to alternate universes but rather facilitate movement from one part of our universe to another. The concept emphasizes that any region of spacetime linked by a wormhole is still considered part of our universe, regardless of the distance or location involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of General Relativity (GR)
  • Basic knowledge of spacetime concepts
  • Familiarity with the principles of wormholes
  • Awareness of the implications of theoretical physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical framework of General Relativity
  • Explore the concept of traversable wormholes
  • Study the implications of wormholes on time travel
  • Investigate the current theories on the multiverse and alternate dimensions
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, physicists, and anyone interested in theoretical physics and the nature of spacetime will benefit from this discussion.

I don't know pretty much about worm holes. but I have this doubt.
Where do worm holes lead us to if we get into one?Do they lead us to a new but different universe or into some other part of this universe?

Welcome to PF,
The usual wormhole coNsideredin GR leads to a different part of our own Universe in the sense that it is possible in principle to travel from one end to the other without traversing the wormhole.

Technically, though, any regeon of spacetime connected to pur local spacetime in such a way as to allow travel is part of our Universe... so if it is connected by a wormhole, or anything else, then it is part of "our" Universe.
