A wormhole is a hypothetical structure which connects disparate points in spacetime. It may be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). Wormholes are based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. [1]
Like Wikipedia:Unusual articles, Wiki Wormhole tends to feature some of Wikipedia's more peculiar fare. Based on the rabbit holes that readers find themselves in during a "wikiwalk", Wiki Wormhole typically includes mentions of the strangest fact, the biggest controversy, the things the author was happiest/unhappiest to learn, and the best link ...
A wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime. Wormhole may also refer to: Bajoran wormhole, a wormhole located near the planet Bajor in the fictional Star Trek universe; Wormholes: Essays and Occasional Writings, a book containing writings from four decades by the English author John Fowles
The existence of a traversable nonorientable wormhole would seem to allow the conversion of matter to antimatter, and vice versa. A universe that includes one of these "non-orientable" connections does not allow a global definition of whether a particle is "really" matter or antimatter, and this sort of universe, with no global definition of ...
ER = EPR is a conjecture in physics stating that two entangled particles (a so-called Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen or EPR pair) are connected by a wormhole (or Einstein–Rosen bridge) [1] [2] and is thought by some to be a basis for unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics into a theory of everything.
A wormhole is a postulated method, within the general theory of relativity, of moving from one point in space to another without crossing the space between. [1] [2] ...
In general relativity, a Roman ring (proposed by Matt Visser in 1997 [1] and named after the Roman arch, a concept proposed by Mike Morris and Kip Thorne in 1988 and named after physicist Tom Roman) [2] is a configuration of wormholes where no subset of wormholes is near to chronology violation, though the combined system can be arbitrarily close to chronology violation.
Another definition is that the light cone represents all possible worldlines. In "simple" examples of spacetime metrics the light cone is directed forward in time. This corresponds to the common case that an object cannot be in two places at once, or alternately that it cannot move instantly to another location.
