    Lead Wormholes
AI Thread Summary
Wormholes are theorized to connect different regions of spacetime, potentially allowing travel from one part of our universe to another. They do not necessarily lead to a different universe but can link distant areas within our own universe. The concept suggests that any region of spacetime accessible via a wormhole is still considered part of our universe. This means that traveling through a wormhole could enable movement without traversing the wormhole itself. Understanding wormholes involves complex theories of general relativity and the nature of spacetime.

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.
 

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...

Thread 'Our Beautiful Universe - Photos and Videos'

This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b. I start this...
