Do wormholes exist NASA?
Wormholes are allowed to exist in the math of “General Relativity”, which is our best description of the Universe. Assuming that general relativity is correct, there may be wormholes. But no one has any idea how they would be created, and there is no evidence for anything like a wormhole in the observed Universe.
Has a wormhole been found?
Back in 2015, researchers in Spain created a tiny magnetic wormhole for the first time ever. They used it to connect two regions of space so that a magnetic field could travel ‘invisibly’ between them.
Are there wormholes in our galaxy?
Many people believe wormholes only exist in the realm of science fiction. But some astronomers think these phenomena could be real. To find out for sure, a group of researchers based in China and the US are looking at objects near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our Milky Way.
How big would a wormhole be?
Primordial wormholes are predicted to exist on microscopic levels, about 10–33 centimeters. However, as the universe expands, it is possible that some may have been stretched to larger sizes.
What is a wormhole, and how it is formed?
A wormhole is a theoretical passage through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe. Wormholes are predicted by the theory of general relativity. Certain solutions of general relativity allow for the existence of wormholes where the mouth of each is a black hole. However, a naturally occurring black hole, formed by the collapse of a dying star, does not by itself create a wormhole.
Are wormholes real?
Many scientists and astronomers believe that wormholes are real. Many things in astrophysics and theoretical physics have never been discovered, but, as they say, “the math works out”, meaning that they are possible.
Is there a wormhole on Earth?
Some scientists believe there are small wormholes right here on Earth. A wormhole is a basic shortcut through space-time. If there were wormholes on Earth they would probably be in places like the Bermuda triangle, or Lake Chapala , Mexico.
Is a wormhole real?
A wormhole is a tunnel-like connection through space-time, much like the real tunnels bored by worms in a ( Newtonian ) apple. At present, space-time wormholes are only theoretical constructs derived from general relativity; there is no experimental evidence for their existence.
