i didny understand how the wormhole works?

Question

please explain first what a wormhole is as if u r explaining to a 10 yr old ( just kiddin) .

Answer 1

I'll attempt to explain, with the help of wikipedia and my past reading of Steven Hawking's works.

It is basically thought of as the equivalent of a "portal." It is a pathway through a higher level dimension (as in using the 4th spacial dimension [I'm not talking about time here, even though time is often referred to as the fourth dimension]) through space-time. Here is a wonderful picture that explains it in an easy to understand way, though it isn't complete: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Worm3.jpg

Take a look at that picture. A normal light ray would, if the wormhole didn't exist, travel straight across one of those lines and curve around and then continue back, still going forward but "upsidedown." The wormhole allows the light to skip about half of the voyage and travels down into another part in the universe.

And it has been thought that black holes lead to the sometimes creation of wormholes. They bend space time in such phenominal amounts. When they bend it to a certain amount, it is thouight that they sort of "pop out" the bottom.

And yes. I made this post asd if explaining it to a 10 (or middle-school) year old.

In response to the question below mine, wtflol?! That has nothing to do with wormholes. This guy isn't asking how the universe was created. He's asking about a theory within the theory of how the universe was created, thus asking the same thing as if it was true that the universe was created based on the theories of so many different scientists, and the theories of wormholes and blah blah was true, then what exactly is a wormhole?

Answer 2

"A wormhole, is a hole in th- Jimmy, pay attention! As I was saying, A wormhole is a hole in the fabric of space and time. Yes Jimmy, there are parallel universes. And some scientists believe that black holes might be the gateway to other universes. The way out would be through a theoretical white hole.
And remember Jimmy, if you fail this exam, you will have to go to summer school!"

Hehe, just thought I would make it a bit more interesting to read.
If that isn't enough, then go to my source below.
Just look up 'wormhole'.

Answer 3

Mr. Bula...Did the universe create itself? If not wouldn't the second law of thermodynamics have destroyed the universe already? Doesn't the first law prove that it couldn't have created itself? How did nothing explode? Also, how did the the first single-celled organism (which has more components than the space shuttle) come alive from non living materials especially when you had to have the DNA (which is a complicated piece of information like all the software in the world combined) to tell the cell (which had to have the DNA in the first place) how to create the amino acids to build the proteins which make the DNA. Which came first: the DNA code which was needed to build the cell or the cell neede to build the code? Does anyone see a chicken/egg problem?

Answer 4

Wormholes work mainly in the imaginations of people who confuse idle speculation with science. There's no reqson whatsoever to think that they exist or can exist.

Answer 5

the theory behind wormholes is that, by moving through a higher dimension, it is possible to skip between places in the universe.

Answer 6

A worm hole is a tear in dementional time and space

Answer 7

have you undertood stars, galaxys , black hole etc. Go in steps.
