Think of it as a "tunnel" from one point in space to another...like a shortcut. If they're existence is possible (still only theoretical), then you could fall into one end of one HERE, and come out the other end of it millions of light years away....the idea being that ALL of space is curved into a 4th dimension. It may be that 2 points a couple million light years apart in 3 dimenions could be as close as a couple of INCHES through 4 dimensions. Like a 2D peice of paper with two points on it being a shorter distance through a 3rd dimension if you were to fold the paper.
Hope that was simple enough.

Simply speaking, wormholes are short-cuts from one place to another. When travelling in space normally we have to make one big round before we can go straight to our destination. Imagine the Earth, you are at south pole and you want to get to north pole, instead of going by the long way on the surface of Earth, we can make a tunnrl through it instead, thus shortening the time.
Black holes may be wormholes, but it is complicated as time starts to stop.

holes in space have two openings. a blackhole is the bigger one which sucks in all types of matter that it comes across, and a wormhole which is the other end of a blackhole. by passing through the holes presumably one would enter into alternate dimensions

a wormhole is a shortcut through space and time, it has at least 2 mouths.
Wormholes could allow time travel

Imagine the universe is a piece of paper. Bend the paper so that the ends are touching. Now if you want to go from one side to the other, instead of going along the surface, you could just cut a hole and jump the shorter distance from one side to the other. So instead of going 11 inches, you could go 1 inch.
Hard to imagine that in 3D.

a malicious application hollow is an theory of bending area like a chew of paper to shorten the distances between element a and b. a malicious application hollow is in simple terms hypothetical it may exist, we in simple terms don't have the technologies. a black hollow is a large dense and relatively huge merchandise that sucks in each and every thing close to it, even easy (for this reason the term black hollow) it is not a malicious application hollow. in case you have been to circulate in it you would be torn to shreds and grow to hitch the black hollow. a supernova is a large powerful blast brought about by making use of a large megastar's dying. sometimes leaving a neutron megastar or a black hollow at the back of. 2 neutron stars colliding could additionally reason a supernova.

A worm hole is a science fiction invention that allows a person to circumvent the space between two different places!

The opening left behind when a worm exits the earth.

in simple terms its a portal in space and time. A short cut to other spacetime continums. they are theorectical, as no one has observed matter as being able to travel from one spacetime to another as yet.

Wormhole is Steven Hawking's theory. It like "place" travel. If u go into a black hole you get transffred to another one.
Look at this...
(think this is a diagram)
You (zap) (you go here..........................................) You
BLACKHOLE BLACKHOLE
this is how it works...
