![]() ![]() An actual wormhole would be analogous to this, but with the spatial dimensions raised by one. In this case, a wormhole would appear as a hole in that surface, lead into a 3D tube (the inside surface of a cylinder), then re-emerge at another location on the 2D surface with a hole similar to the entrance. Visualization įor a simplified notion of a wormhole, space can be visualized as a two-dimensional surface. Some physicists, such as Kip Thorne, have suggested how to make wormholes artificially. In 1995, Matt Visser suggested there may be many wormholes in the universe if cosmic strings with negative mass were generated in the early universe. Theoretically, a wormhole might connect extremely long distances such as a billion light years, or short distances such as a few meters, or different points in time, or even different universes. ![]() Many scientists postulate that wormholes are merely projections of a fourth spatial dimension, analogous to how a two-dimensional (2D) being could experience only part of a three-dimensional (3D) object. Wormholes are consistent with the general theory of relativity, but whether wormholes actually exist remains to be seen. Ī wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). A wormhole ( Einstein-Rosen bridge) is a hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. ![]()
