UNDERSTAND: WHAT is a WORMHOLE? ✨🕳️🌌 A wormhole is an object that, in theory, creates a “hole” in space-time, serving as a shortcut between two distant points in the universe. Though they sound like the stuff of science fiction, wormholes are possible in Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. When Einstein published his theories at the beginning of the 20th century, scientists discovered that space and time are indivisible, that is, they are part of the same structure called space-tim

A wormhole is a hypothetical concept in physics that represents a shortcut or a "tunnel" connecting two separate points in spacetime. It is often depicted as a tunnel with two ends, known as mouths or entrances, that are connected through a "throat" or a narrow passage. The concept of wormholes emerges from the mathematical equations of general relativity, the theory of gravity formulated by Albert Einstein. According to general relativity, massive objects such as stars and planets warp the fabr
