They’re not exactly traversable by humans, but this is certainly one small step in a new theoretical direction. The second paper, however, which comes from Juan Maldacena of the Institute for ...

But first, you'd better make sure your wormhole is traversable. "Any traveler trying to cross a wormhole that does not satisfy this will be crushed inside as the tunnel collapses," João Rosa ...

But how would they work? Physicists have now used a quantum processor to simulate a traversable wormhole, teleporting information between two quantum systems. In fiction, wormholes are usually ...

Now, Harvard physicist Daniel Jafferis and colleagues have shown that traversable wormholes are theoretically possible. However, they wouldn't be very useful for human travel—even if we had the ...

Let's set the record straight right away: This isn't a bona fide traversable wormhole—i.e., a bridge between two regions of spacetime connecting the mouth of one black hole to another ...

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology created two tiny black holes in a quantum computer — simulating what amounts to a traversable tunnel between remote regions of the universe ...

RUDN University astrophysicists have now proven the theoretical possibility of the existence of traversable wormholes in the Friedmann universe. The research is published in the journal Universe.

When scientists talk about wormholes, they are typically discussing two main varieties, Grado-White says: a traversable wormhole (also known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge) and a spacetime or replica ...

Unlike wormholes in science fiction, they are not traversable – meaning things cannot pass through them. Although general relativity forbids travelling through a wormhole, it is theorized that exotic ...
