The idea of a wormhole that can transport you through space and time may sound like an idea from a science fiction blockbuster.
But a new study claims that these wormholes ‘could be possible’ in reality. Researchers from Princeton University have used quantum mechanics to theorise conditions that could result in large enough wormholes.
In the study, published on the preprint server arXiv, the researchers, led by Juan Maldacena explained: “From the outside they resemble intermediate mass charged black holes. “Their big size comes from demanding that a human traveller can survive the tidal forces.
They take a very short proper time to traverse, but a long time as seen from the outside. “The traveller acquires a very large boost factor, γ,
