what exactly r wormholes??

Answer 1

In physics, a wormhole (also known as Abbreviated Space) is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that is essentially a "shortcut" or "abbreviation" through space and time. A wormhole has at least two mouths which are connected to a single throat. If the wormhole is traversable, matter can 'travel' from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat.

The term wormhole was introduced by the American theoretical physicist John Wheeler in 1957:

This analysis forces one to consider situations..where there is a net flux of lines of force through what topologists would call a handle of the multiply-connected space and what physicists might perhaps be excused for more vividly terming a ‘wormhole’.

—John Wheeler in Annals of Physics

The name "wormhole" comes from an analogy used to explain the phenomenon. If a worm is travelling over the skin of an apple, then the worm could take a shortcut to the opposite side of the apple's skin by burrowing through its center, rather than travelling the entire distance around, just as a wormhole traveller could take a shortcut to the opposite side of the universe through a hole in higher-dimensional space.

Answer 2

As any science fiction fan knows, one of the most menacing and mysterious things in space is a wormhole. Wormholes are a possible consequence of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Einstein came up with the remarkable idea that mass warps space, and the bigger the mass, the more space will be bent. This strange conjecture was proved by Arthur Eddington in 1919, when he journeyed to the island of Principe, off the coast of Africa, for the solar eclipse. There he proved that the Sun bent light from the stars as it passed in front of them. Theoretically, a wormhole could be formed when two or more massive bodies warp space and the fabric of space collides, forming a tunnel between distant places.


No one knows whether wormholes exist let alone what would happen if you sent a spacecraft through them. If they do exist they could be very short-lived, and may not even survive long enough for a spacecraft to reach the other side. And if the spaceship did make it, its mass might cause the wormhole to snap shut, cutting the astronauts off for good.


etc., etc,.

Answer 3

Wormhole is a name given to a hole in the space-time continuoum. Think of space-time like a fabric stretched out tight across an area. The gravitational force of a massive body (such as the sun or other star) would be like placing a heavy object on this sheet of fabric - it would push it down where it is resting. Now think of a heavier object placed on the fabric, something so heavy that it stretches the fabric way down into a very deep funnel shape. At some point, a heavy enough object pushes down so far that it breaks thru the fabric and creates a tear or hole in the fabric. This is analogous to a worm hole. A hole in the fabric of space-time.

Answer 4

a wormhole is a theoretical astrophysical phenomenon, allowing matter and energy to move for 1 point in space time to another point without crossing the actual space time universe (skipping space and time) , there is no physical evidence for the existence of wormholes.

Answer 5

A location in a monitor which contains the address of a routine, with the specific intent of making it easy to substitute a different routine. This term is now obsolescent; modern operating systems use clusters of wormholes extensively (for modularization of I/O handling in particular, as in the Unix device-driver organization) but the preferred techspeak for these clusters is ‘device tables’, ‘jump tables’ or ‘capability tables’.

Answer 6

A theoretical distortion of space-time in a region of the universe that would link one location or time with another, through a path that is shorter in distance or duration than would otherwise be expected.

Answer 9

a warmhole is the phase when the last phase of a star is over and its came as a warm hole. it is a largest warm substance
