WORMHOLE

—A wormhole is a hypothetical shortcut between two distant regions of space-time.

WORMHOLE• An observer passing through a wormhole could

traverse it in less time that it would take to travel through normal space-time outside the wormhole.

• Theoretically, wormholes can be used to travel to the future and the past.

WORMHOLENo observational evidence for wormholes currently exists, but mathematical solutions describing wormholes have long been known to be valid theoretical solutions to Einstein’s field equations of General Relativity.

WORMHOLE

Are safe travels through wormholes even possible?

WORMHOLE TRAVELTidal gravitational forces at the throat of a Schwarzschild wormhole are of the same magnitude as at a horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole.

WORMHOLE TRAVELA Schwarzschild wormhole is dynamic, not static—it can contract to zero throat circumference to maximum throat circumference in a very rapid rate.

A Schwarzschild wormhole has an unstable past horizon which can hasten the opening and closing of its throat.

TRAVERSIBLE WORMHOLE1.Symmetric and static2.Must obey Einstein’s field equations3.Must have a throat that connects two

asymptotically flat regions of space time4.Must not have a horizon5.Must have bearable tidal forces6.Must be traversable in a finite amount of time7.Must be physically reasonable8.Should be possibly assembled

Hyperspace = HIGHER DIMENSIONS

HYPERSPACE

“…we are the carp swimming in our tiny pond, blissfully unaware of invisible, unseen universes hovering just above us in hyperspace.”

HYPERSPACE“We spend our life in three spatial dimensions, confident that what we can see with our telescopes is all there is, ignorant of the possibility of 10 dimensional hyperspace.”
