The wormhole theory can provide shortcuts for enormous distances between two points in curved spacetime.
Wormhole
- Discovered by:
- Ludwig Flamm in 1916,
- Soon after Einstein proposed his General Theory of Relativity — a theory that describes the gravitational field.
- About:
- A wormhole can be visualised as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime.
- A wormhole can act as a bridge or a shortcut between two points in curved spacetime which are well separated in practical terms to the inhabitants of the universe.
- Wormholes are consistent with the general theory of relativity.
- No Evidences Yet:
- The presence of wormholes has not yet been established through observation or inference by astronomers.
- There is gathering support for the existence of entities such as the wormhole and others that have not yet been “seen”.
