For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.
What if there were shortcuts in space-time? Could wormholes be the key to intergalactic travel? In this video, we dive deep ...
When it comes to space travel, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is a major inconvenience. With the laws of physics ...
An Einstein-Rosen bridge is the simplest kind of wormhole. And while it can, in theory, allow you to meet a new friend from a distant part of the universe, there are some important reasons why it ...
The universe seems to be spinning, and that could explain what dark energy is and why it's weakening while revealing our ...
Physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen developed the wormhole theory. Getty Images But the researchers said scientists are still far from being able to teleport a living being through a time ...
Scientists refer to them as Einstein-Rosen bridges after the two physicists who described them ... Such wormholes are consistent with Einstein’s theory of general relativity, ...
In the other paper, Einstein, Rosen and another physicist, Boris Podolsky, tried to pull the rug out from quantum mechanics by exposing a seeming logical inconsistency.
In a special illustrated feature, Ben Platts-Mills explains why Albert Einstein and other physicists refused to believe black holes could be real. Were they too strange to imagine?
Einstein and Rosen were clear about their motives in publishing this idea: singularities, they wrote, "we cannot accept at all. For a singularity brings so much arbitrariness into the theory that ...
