can we really be able to find or make wormholes in space so as to travel large distances through space?

Question

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.

Answer 1

Wormholes are only hypothetical. Their mere existence is doubtful. That anyone could survive going through one is more doubtful still. It makes good fiction though, doesn't it?

Answer 2

Ok, check this out. Scientists have theorized a way to make worm holes to travel back in time and great distances.

There is this thing called Quantam Foam which is SUPER small, nothing could ever possibly detect it. These quantam foams are actually billions of wormholes appearing then dissapearing ina flash. If you were to be able to use some exotic fiber to spread open the foam, you would be able to go through and come out some other time or place. Scientists believe that the universe is folded like a hot dog. To travel it the natural way, you would have to go along the whole curve. But wormholes allow you to cut the hotdog fold and travel right across, that is how you will get to some place on the other side of the universe. Man I love these topics.

Answer 3

The big problem is that the boundry conditions for the equations of GR to allow a wormhole to form require a huge amount of mass rotating at a very high speed. Typically the kind(s) of things you find around black holes. And the problem with that, of course, is the tidal forces you'd have to survive as well as the huge amount of radiation emitted by anything else (gas, dust, etc.) in the vicinity of the black hole as it was pulled in. Plus, those solutions are highly unstable, both in terms of where the mouth(s) of the wormhole would be (or might move to) in space-time as well as whether or not the entire (hypothetical) structure might collapse.

The other big downside is the total lack of an answer to two pretty basic questions that most travellers would ask: Where would you end up, and how would you get back?

Answer 4

doug pretty much nailed it.
Just think about the EFFECT of a wormhole. it will WARP time and space. Including anything foolish enough to get near it. let alone try to travel through it. If you were to even try you would be rendered down in a horrible fashion to your most primitive particles.. and the only thing escaping to the other side would be your mass converted into energy. Would be a very interesting way to die I imagine. A wormhole would IGNORE matter. including black holes. So if you can build something that can absolutely defy the effects of a monster blackhole then ya might have a chance of going through. As it stands it would take exotic materials and energy that we have no way of comprehending on such a primitive level of technology.

Answer 5

To make a wormhole you need a material with negative mass and thus negative energy density. No such material is known to science.

Traversable wormholes do not seem to violate any physical laws. We have no idea how to go about building them, however.

Perhaps an extremely advanced far future society will be able to construct its own stargates. Its not out of the question.

Answer 6

Yes Its Possible In Future.

Answer 7

We certainly can't make a wormhole and I doubt that one exists.

Answer 8

The universe is spherical,you would have to be able distort it,some way, to bring two areas together.
To do something like that would be traveling back and forth in time which just cannot be.
