WHAT ARE WORMHOLES?
From science to science fiction wormholes seem to be a pretty interesting topic, after all, it's no wonder we see it everywhere from DC comics to Star Trek but within the last 30 years interest in wormholes has tremendously increased leaving us wondering how exactly do these odd pockets do in space even work.
Let us imagine walking down the street and coming across what seems to be a tear in space a hole if you will then step into this hole and find out it can transport you anywhere in space-time that is what a wormhole can do. Wormholes themselves are a paradox their anatomy is so simple consisting of two mouths connected by a throat or tube yet their function connecting two different points in space-time. A wormhole would basically be like a bridge or tunnel which would allow us to take a shortcut and save us a huge trip.
So how exactly it is passing through a wormhole work strictly speaking a wormhole is a tube with a black hole at one end and a white hole at another end before we progress any further let's first take a look at what a white hole is we all heard of a black hole a hole in the fabric of space-time in which objects can enter but can't exit well now imagine a region of space where an auger can exit but can't enter that's what a white hole is essentially the insider throat of the wormhole is stabilized by a sphere of exotic matter the exotic matter pushes against the walls of the throat and thus keep the wormhole from collapsing in on itself so now that we know some of the features of a wormhole.
We can already begin to see some obvious flaws starting with the fact that since at one end of the wormhole there is a white hole and at the other hand black hole objects can only enter and go one way so if we wanted to go back to earth we would have some trouble doing that but that problem doesn't seem so bad after all assuming that we have already become advanced enough to make one wormhole we could just make another wormhole with the blackhole end at the destination and the white hole end near the earth however don't forget that we have to open a black hole on or near our planet which comes with some pretty obvious risks in addition we're not even sure about the existence of negative energy which is a point.
However not all seems lost for wormholes may exist just not at the size you expect it look around you what do you see it just looks like the normal calm empty space you're familiar with however if you could shrink down to a really tiny size and I'm talking tinier than an atom its nucleus and the protons neutrons quarks and gluons you would see empty space in a whole new light instead of the everyday serenity you're used to you would see particles popping in and out of existence which we call virtual particles however it's not just the virtual particles you'll find among the chaos many scientists also believe you'll also find wormholes which constantly transition in and out of existence just like the virtual particles thanks to this idea the system could be scalable allowing for objects like people to go through however our technology doesn't allow us to explore the scales these subatomic wormholes supposedly exist own so at the end of the day while wormholes seem like an awesome way of travelling it just remains a dream of what will hopefully come in the future to us until then we will have to keep on trying to find a way to make our dream a reality.
