All the answers are "correct" because all wormholes are imaginary (at present).

Are wormholes and antimatter related?

No they are not related. See related questions


How long does it take to travel through a wormhole in space?

Wormholes are theoretical. It is unlikely we will ever be able to travel through one if they are proven to exist.


What materials are needed to build a time machine?

You will need a black hole or a wormhole. Certain types of spinning black holes could generate a window into any time during its existence. Wormholes theoretically cross both space and time because they create shortcuts between parts of the universe that are not coexistent in space or time.


How did wormhole originate as the term for the theoretical space-time bridge?

From Wikipedia:The American theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler coined the term wormholein 1957; however, in 1921, the German mathematician Hermann Weyl already had proposed the wormhole theory, in connection with mass analysis of electromagnetic field energy.Both physicists and non-physicists took a shine to the term. It is a mathematical possibility, but to date the only one found is the one on Star Trek (Deep Space 9). It does make for great stories, so long live wormholes.


Can humans travel through time?

Yes and no. Everything is relative, including time. Time in one location is not moving at the same rate as at another location. We will call the rate of time's advance on earth the base time, t0. As you speed up, the amount of time you experience, t, is represented by the equation t = y*t0, where y (actually the Greek letter gamma, which looks like a y but sounds like a g) is the Lorentz factor, y = 1/SQRT(1 - (v/C)2) where v is velocity and C is the speed of light in a vacuum, 2.997*108 m/s. As you get faster, the Lorentz factor increases, and the amount of time you experience becomes longer and longer compared to the amount of time on earth. When you reach the speed of light, time on earth virtually stops, and you continue moving through time. This begs the question, if you go faster (forcing the Lorentz factor into imaginary numbers), do you go back in time? Maybe, but such speeds would destroy matter on the atomic level, so it would be difficult to find out.

Who was the first to theorized wormholes in space?

Do worms live in wormholes?

no. worms live in holes in the ground that they dig in the dirt after it rains. wormholes are something in space.


How did the name wormholes come about?

The term wormhole was coined by the Americantheoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler in 1957. However, the idea of wormholes had already been theorized in 1921 by the German mathematician Hermann Weyl in connection with his analysis of mass in terms of electromagnetic field energy.

Who founded the wormhole?

The concept of wormholes was first theorized by physicist Ludwig Flamm in 1916, but it was theoretical physicist Kip Thorne who made significant contributions to our understanding of wormholes in the 20th century. He worked on the physics of wormholes and helped popularize the concept through his research and writings.


How do wormholes form?

It is not even known whether there ARE any wormholes. Wormholes are very hypothetical.


Are there wormholes in the milky way?

Wormholes are not confirmed to exist.


Where is the nearest worm hole?

No wormholes have ever been discovered. They are merely considered theoretically possible in the form of an einstein-rosen bridge.


How can wormholes play a part in the universe?

Wormholes open up holes in space that once you enter one it could take you to another place in the galaxy or time. Hence the name wormholes.


Are wormholes a scientific reality or just science fiction?

A wormhole is a rift in spacetime that acts something like a tunnel where matter enters one end and is sent to the other. Because of its nature, wormholes are still just a hypothesis. There is no scientific evidence to prove they exist.


Are wormholes predictable?

Sadly, no.


Do black holes create a tunnels between space and time?

No one knows but people have said that wormholes may exist inside a black hole that can transport you to another place in space and time.


Are there wormholes in the universe?

Wormholes, aka "Einstein-Rosen bridges," were once thought to connect quasars and black holes. It is now known that quasars ARE black holes, and there is no evidence they are connected to anything. Black holes are pinched off spaces of our universe, exotic and strange, but not mystically mysterious. It remains theoretically possible we could manufacture connections to other points in space-time or other dimensions (universes) through "wormholes," or something like them, however what is possible is sometimes also unlikely. Wormholes are not particularly likely.
