If two points are connected by a wormhole whose length is shorter than the distance between them outside the wormhole, the time taken to traverse it could be less than the time it would take a light beam to make the journey if it took a path through the space outside the wormhole. However, a light beam traveling through the same wormhole would ...
The key to the whole idea is wormholes—specifically, a type of wormhole called a ring wormhole. Now, wormholes are already entirely theoretical, so this discussion is going to get weird. And ...
However, there is no definitive reason that spacetime needs to be fundamentally smooth. It is possible that instead, in a quantum theory of gravity, spacetime would consist of many small, ever-changing regions in which space and time are not definite, but fluctuate in a foam-like manner. [4]
This occurs when the two wormhole mouths, call them A and B, have been moved in such a way that it becomes possible for a particle or wave moving at the speed of light to enter mouth B at some time T 2 and exit through mouth A at an earlier time T 1, then travel back towards mouth B through ordinary space, and arrive at mouth B at the same time ...

Intergalactic travel for humans is therefore possible, in theory, from the point of view of the traveler. [7] For example, a rocket that accelerated at standard acceleration due to gravity toward the Andromeda Galaxy and started to decelerate halfway through the trip would arrive in about 28 years, from the frame of reference of the observer.
This phenomenon shows that in space-time the curvature of space has nothing to do with gravity (the 'curvature of time’, one could say). As a special case of the Ellis drainhole , itself a 'traversable wormhole', the Ellis wormhole dates back to the drainhole's discovery in 1969 (date of first submission) by H. G. Ellis, [ 1 ] and ...
In Einstein’s theory, space and time relate to each other. That’s why it’s called space-time. So as the black hole is rotating, it’s actually going to cause a twisting of time.”
