In physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that is essentially a "shortcut" 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. While there is no observational evidence for wormholes, spacetimes containing wormholes are known to be valid solutions in general relativity.
A wormhole could allow time travel. This could be accomplished by accelerating one end of the wormhole to a high velocity relative to the other, and then sometime later bringing it back; relativistic time dilation would result in the accelerated wormhole mouth aging less than the stationary one as seen by an external observer, similar to what is seen in the twin paradox. However, time connects differently through the wormhole than outside it, so that synchronized clocks at each mouth will remain synchronized to someone traveling through the wormhole itself, no matter how the mouths move around. This means that anything which entered the accelerated wormhole mouth would exit the stationary one at a point in time prior to its entry. For example, if clocks at both mouths both showed the date as 2000 before one mouth was accelerated, and after being taken on a trip at relativistic velocities the accelerated mouth was brought back to the same region as the stationary mouth with the accelerated mouth's clock reading 2005 while the stationary mouth's clock read 2010, then a traveler who entered the accelerated mouth at this moment would exit the stationary mouth when its clock also read 2005, in the same region but now five years in the past. Such a configuration of wormholes would allow for a particle's world line to form a closed loop in spacetime, known as a closed timelike curve.
It is thought that it may not be possible to convert a wormhole into a time machine in this manner: some analyses using the semiclassical approach to incorporating quantum effects into general relativity indicate that a feedback loop of virtual particles would circulate through the wormhole with ever-increasing intensity, destroying it before any information could be passed through it, in keeping with the chronology protection conjecture. This has been called into question by the suggestion that radiation would disperse after traveling through the wormhole, therefore preventing infinite accumulation. The debate on this matter is described by Kip S. Thorne in the book Black Holes and Time Warps. There is also the Roman ring, which is a configuration of more than one wormhole. This ring seems to allow a closed time loop with stable wormholes when analyzed using semiclassical gravity, although without a full theory of quantum gravity it is uncertain whether the semiclassical approach is reliable in this case.

Worms, as you or I see them, appear to be rather slow if observed with your typical human senses.
This is, in fact, is a simple lack of awareness of perceptual possibilities outside our initial design limitations.
What most people don't understand is that worms, like mice, are nothing more than a multidimensional protrusion into our space/time continuum.
And worms have an even more interesting characteristic - their physical bodies can be used to travel interdimensionally.
Now worms are explorers at their core, they pride themselves on this - but they are also a bit masochistic in nature, and they actually derive a perverse 'thrill' out of being opened up 'SO LARGE' an entity the size of a human could actually 'fit through' their interdimensional hole, and can frequently be heard 'squealing' in ecstasy as you pass through.
This squeal can be heard in the (AIR QUOTE) fictional (END AIR QUOTE) television show Stargate when the team travels through the wormhole.
So to answer your question: A wormhole is an interdimensional hole between two different locations in space and time, quite literally created by accessing the protrusion entrances and exist of a real life worm.
My advice is. Take great care in widening them. They tend to explode in ecstasy real easy, and are still getting used to this concept called gravity here on Planet Earth which intensifies their orgasm.

In physics, a wormhole, also known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge, is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime, which is essentially a "shortcut" through space and time. A wormhole has at least two mouths which are connected to a single throat. Matter can 'travel' from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat.

It is a possible solution to the Einstein equations that describe spacetime in which spacetime is curved so extansively that it folds to loop back on itself (in 2D this is like folding a piace of paper and getting two bits of it to touch).
In the presence of a wormhole there are two paths between two points - one on the normal surface of the space and a potentially shorter one through the hole.
Trouble is, wormholes are not physical solutions of the equations - they cannot occur in the real universe. Just in science fiction.

have confidence it or not thereis wormholes and specific there is far extra better civilazations myb gentle yrs extra advance so all those issues like megastar wars that ppl think of its purely a mvoie properly guess what the goverment and absolutely everyone else that dosent weant u to kno the actuality wwill purely disguise it and attempt to alter ourmnds approximately it by makin a action picture out of t callin it fanstasy video clips to not be taken for genuine while u kno damn beneficial that they are purely tryin to disguise us from the actuality weren't aalone wormholes are genuine and are even placed in secret areas of the international some not even bein on land mayb interior the air or underwater

A wormhole is a rip in space where things go in but come out somewhere light years away. it is like a black hole with an exit valve.

a worm hole essentially is when a planet explodes and becomes a super massive ball of mater which rips through the "fabric" of space and time connecting on place in the universe to another, but upon entering one of these you would be stretched into a spaghetti size string so no one really know where they lead to. these worm holes contrary to scientific belief are actually curved because the universe is a sphere, this makes it impossible for a worm hole to be straightt because of the gravitational pull of galaxies pulling on it making it curved.it is like s string on the inside edge of a ball the string can not go straigh so it curves to go around the inside of the ball. this is all quite complicated.
