Wormholes, or tunnels in the fabric of space-time, are ferociously unstable. As soon as even a single photon slips down the tunnel, the wormhole closes in a flash.
We aren’t quite ready for a Quantum Leap just yet and, when we are, it may not be any quicker than a normal trip through space.
Wormholes — yawning gateways that could theoretically connect distant points in space-time — are usually illustrated as gaping gravity wells linked by a narrow tunnel.
Quantum entanglement is one of the more bizarre theories to come out of the study of quantum mechanics — so strange, in fact, that Albert Einstein famously referred to it as “spooky action at a distance.”
Invisible channels offer optical collusion.
Wormholes and black holes might be the source of of many science fiction, but what do we really know about them?
