It’s one small step for scientists, one quantum leap for mankind! Physicists created a “theoretical” wormhole and sent a message through it without disrupting space and time — potentially paving the ...

Einstein was a great thinker who made plenty of mistakes—errors that sometimes led to more meaningful discoveries in physics, ...

The new theory contradicts earlier predictions that these 'shortcuts' would instantly collapse. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Back in the prehistoric days of theoretical astrophysics (1985), in a mystical and exotic corner of planet Earth (Fresno, California), a man sat in the back of a car and tried to break the spacetime ...

An Einstein-Rosen bridge—a mathematical solution for a specific wormhole—requires exotic matter (i.e. negative energy density) in order to be stable. However, when the research team compared their ...

For the past century the biggest bar fight in science has been between Albert Einstein and himself. On one side is the Einstein who in 1915 conceived general relativity, which describes gravity as the ...

It’s Thursday. You’re tired, maybe hungover. The weekend is nearly here. But before all that, we’ve got some physics for you to sink your teeth into. We’re talking wormholes, black holes, and quantum ...

In some ways, a wormhole might look like a black hole. And the wormhole would look like a sphere, not a hole. Einstein's theory of general relativity allows for the possibility of wormholes, but there ...
