Wormholes -- those hypothetical short cuts in the space-time continuum -- that have been theorized to allow everything from warp speed spacecraft to time travel. Now, researchers are suggesting we can actually create a type of wormhole using those fun metamaterials that everyone is all excited about lately.
Physicists are re-exploring the concept of time by thinking about wormholes in space, warp drives and other cosmic constructions, that "absurdly advanced civilizations" might use to travel through time.
Michio Kaku argues that new space probes will provide critical new information on parallel universes, cosmology, and wormholes that humanity will need to survive in the long-term.
Science fiction stories routinely conjure up black holes as portals for traveling across interstellar space. In reality, scientists say that's impossible. Or is it? New research suggests it could happen.
A physicist at Princeton University says as computer technology progresses, scientists may be able to use wormholes to send answers to calculations back to their own past to solve problems.
All around us are tiny doors that lead to the rest of the Universe. Predicted by Einstein's equations, these quantum wormholes offer a faster-than-light short cut to the rest of the cosmos - at least in principle. Now physicists believe they could open these doors wide enough to allow someone to travel through.
New research based on Einstein's general theory of relativity suggests that wormholes large and stable enough to allow intergalactic travel really can exist.
