    Wormhole
AI Thread Summary
Wormholes are theoretical constructs in General Relativity that may connect different regions of space and time, but there is no solid evidence for their existence. When discussing time travel through a wormhole, the idea is that entering one could place a traveler at a different point in the "river of time," potentially allowing travel to the past or future. However, such time travel could violate causality, raising significant theoretical concerns. While some suggest that wormholes might connect to parallel universes, the practical implications of traveling through them remain speculative. Overall, the concept of wormholes and time travel is rooted in theoretical physics without practical application or evidence.

Hey

Have heard that if you go trough a wormhole, you go to another place in space. You will also go to another time in space.
Why is it that you go to another time, when you get to the other side of a wormhole?
Is it because when entering it, you will be in one place in the river of time, and when you get out you will be in another place in the river of time.

So let's say the place you enter the wormhole, is the present time, and the end of the wormhole is 1000 years in the past. The reason for this would be that the river of time, is the present time when you enter it, and when you get to the end of the wormhole, the present time will still be on the other end of the wormhole, while at the end where you are, you will enter another place in the river of time. Therfore, you will go to another time.

Is this how it works?

I do not know the answer to your question, but wormholes can do one of three things:

-connect two universes together
-connect two different regions of space together
-connect two different times together (as well as universes or regions of space)
 
A wormhole is a purely theoretical artifact in General Relativity. There is no solid evidence of their existence. As Blackhole noted, a wormhole may, theoretically connect different regions of space, time, or both. Until we find one, it is pure speculation. I very seriously doubt any wormhole would permit time travel into the past of this universe. The consequences would violate causality. It is, however, conceivable they could connect to parallel universes.

what chronos said was right, it's just theoritical not a practical one,where in the world people could travel to another space ,it's been theoritically proved it relates to goemetry,check out the solutions done by godel.

Thread 'Potential biosignature found in Mars rock'

Publication: Redox-driven mineral and organic associations in Jezero Crater, Mars Article: NASA Says Mars Rover Discovered Potential Biosignature Last Year Press conference The ~100 authors don't find a good way this could have formed without life, but also can't rule it out. Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.

Thread 'Does it make sense to build new radio telescopes?'

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'

This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
