Essay On Wormhole

Science-fiction movies and TV shows have filled our imagination with a lot of could be’sand what if’s about our cosmos. From Star Trek to Dr. Who, we have been kept curious about the undiscovered possibilities our universe holds. One famous phenomena often depicted is time travel and the space-time continuum. We have always been fascinated with the idea of going back in time and seeing extinct creatures, meeting passed loved ones, or even just resolving issues we should have.

Time travel and time machines seem like something from a child’s active imagination, but maybe, there is more truth in it than we think.

A Wormhole is a hypothetical passage through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe. It bends

Einstein’s theory denied the existence of the gravitational pull, and stated instead that matter, itself,distorts the space-time surrounding it, and gravity is a result of a warping in space. His theory is now the widely-accepted definition of gravity in modern science.

In 1935, using that theory of General Relativity, Einstein and his colleague, Nathan Rosen, proposed “bridges” that could connect two locations in space-time, which would be known today as the Wormhole or Einstein-Rosen Bridge.

Wormholes have two mouths that are connected by a throat. A Wormhole’s mouth would most likely be spheroidal, and the throat most likely a straight stretch, but may also be winded. Certain solutions for general relativity allow for Wormholes to have black holes at its mouths. Although, naturally occurring black holes do not necessarily cause Wormholes.

Although mathematically, Wormholes are proven to exist, none has ever been spotted to date. In fact, physicist still do not know how Wormholes can naturally occur. However, Wheeler stated that it is possible for Wormholes to appear and disappear spontaneously, according to his quantum foam hypothesis. However, Wheeler also theorized that the Wormholes would be so small, they would be impossible to
