The author of this article explains, in simple terms, what a ‘wormhole’ is and how if they exist, they might be used.Summary
This article by Dejan Stojkovic, writing for The Conversation, makes the following theoretical points:
- As space-time is bent, a wormhole—theoretically—might be able to provide a tunnel through the universe.
- A wormhole—if they exist—might make interstellar travel possible without contravening the cosmic law that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.
- At the moment, there is no evidence for the existence of wormholes.
