Some interesting facts about worm holes...........
- A wormhole is a theoretical connection between two different points in spacetime.
- A wormhole is also called an Einstein-Rosen bridge or an Einstein-Rosen wormhole.
- A wormhole is just a theory. No evidence exists proving wormholes exist or existed in the past.
- You can image a wormhole as a tunnel that has two ends, both going to different points in spacetime. These points can lead to different locations, different points in time or a combination of both.
- Another way to imagine a wormhole is to think of an earthworm eating through a piece of cake. While one end is sticking out of the top of the cake, the other is sticking out the bottom.
- Researchers believe a wormhole could connect different parts of the universe that are billions of light-years away, to different points of time (time travel) or even an alternate universe.
- A wormhole in theory could be used to travel faster than the speed of light, allowing humans to explore the galaxy and the observable universe.
- A traversable wormhole in theory could be used to travel back in time, however you could not travel into the future.
- A wormhole in theory could be used to communicate or travel to parallel universes.
- The first proposed concept of a wormhole was by Hermann Weyl in 1928. He referred to his proposed idea as a one-dimensional tubes.
- The term wormhole was coined in 1957 by American theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler in a paper that was co-authored by American physicist Charles Misne.
