Wormholes are only theoretical, mind you, but the idea is that they are not only bridges across space, but across spacetime, the composite of physical space and the dimension of time. It might therefore be possible for you to connect to a different point in time as well as space -- it all depends on where the wormhole goes.
Also be aware that the typical wormhole (kind of funny, referring to something no one has actually seen as "typical") involves a singularity (the center of a black hole), so even though it's possible you could go into a black hole and discover there's actually an opening on the opposite side that looks out onto another portion of the universe or even another universe entirely, you'd never be able to exit it once you cross the event horizon. Aside from science fiction, there is no known example of a traversible wormhole.

You have been reading or watching too much science fiction. As of today, wormholes are still mostly theory. None have ever been dectected. Some say that the center of a black hole is the entrance to a worm hole.Maybe, maybe not, you will never knowforsure because a blackhole is the ultimate one way street, though blackholes definately do exist. In the realm of theory, a wormhole links on part of space to another by warping space and time. Gravity is the only real way to do this...maybe.. I suggest reading the book "Black Holes and Time Warps, Einstein's Outragous Legacy" by Kip Thorne. If any one in the world knows
about the reality of wormholes, it is Kip Thorne, which is writes in this fantastic book on the subject.

Not sure about wormholes, but black holes yes. If you linger around the even horizon of a black hole time slows down, therefore you could travel to the future and still be young.

A wormhole is a thank you to holiday between 2 factors in area and time merely approximately at present. image 2 dots aside on a splash paper. you will possibly think of the shortest path between the dots is a right this moment line. incorrect. Fold the paper so the two dots are occupying the comparable area and time push a pin for the time of the paper starting to be a hollow between the two dots and you have arrived on the different dot for the time of the hollow. unfold the paper.

Worm holes are just theories. Some scientists believe that a worm hole is like a fold in space, allowing you to travel to one place from another very very fast. e.g. walk your fingers across a piece of bread, it takes a few seconds at most. Fold the bread in half and now travel from that spot you first traveled from to the other spot. It didn't take as lond. That's what a worm hole is.
