Wormholes could serve as cosmic shortcuts from "summary" of The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where distances are measured in the trillions of miles, the idea of traveling from one end of the universe to the other seems like an insurmountable task. However, the concept of wormholes offers a glimmer of hope in overcoming this seemingly impossible feat.
Imagine a wormhole as a tunnel connecting two distant points in space, bending the fabric of the universe to create a shortcut between two far-off locations. This cosmic shortcut could potentially allow travelers to bypass the vast expanses of space and time that separate distant corners of the universe.
The theory of general relativity, put forth by Albert Einstein, suggests that massive objects can warp the fabric of spacetime, creating curves and distortions in the universe. Wormholes are a manifestation of this idea, where the intense gravitational fields of black holes could theoretically create a bridge between two points in space.
While the concept of wo...
