When it comes to space, much of what we know about it has yet to be proven. Why? Well, it’s hard to observe stuff that’s billions of lightyears away. It’s even harder to see how bodies like black holes work since they’re supposed to swallow everything, even light. Because of these hurdles, astronomers and astrophysicists tend to go off on theories and mathematical formulas. One of them predicts the existence of wormholes: bridges through time and space. Yes, the same ones spaceships go through in science fiction shows. However, their presence hasn’t been confirmed, but we will still tell you everything we know about them.
If Einstein said they’re real…
The theory of general relativity, first proposed by Albert Einstein, predicted the existence of many phenomena previously thought impossible. One of those was the wormhole, a passage through spacetime that could potentially shorten long journeys across the universe, but could they exist?
The answer is yes, potentially. However, don’t go overboard with your interstellar travel fantasies just yet. These portals would bring some dangers, including the possibility of it suddenly collapsing, high radiation levels, and the chance of encountering exotic matter, which is another curious force.
