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.
There is no known ephemeris for wormholes as they are speculative theoretical constructs and have not been observed or confirmed to exist in reality. Wormholes are often used in science fiction as a plot device, but their existence remains purely theoretical in the realm of physics.
Science fiction is a genre of speculative fiction that deals with imaginative and futuristic concepts that may not be currently possible or proven by science. While some elements in science fiction may not be true in our current reality, the genre often explores the possibilities of future advancements or alternate realities based on scientific principles.
The many definitions of Science Fiction allow for broad inclusions however any 'good' science fiction would include interpolations and extrapolations on reality.
It is science fiction. Science fiction generally bases a fictional story about a debatable scientific point like time travel, aliens and other disputed ideas.
Fiction that incorporates scientific concepts or theories is often categorized as science fiction. This genre explores speculative and futuristic scenarios based on scientific principles, technology, or advancements. Examples include works by authors like Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Philip K. Dick.
Time isn't different. The difference between science fiction and other fiction is the use of scientific knowledge that we don't have at the present. Steam punk is science fiction set in historical eras.
Modern readers have access to a wealth of scientific knowledge and technological advancements that were not available to 19th-century readers, allowing them to better discern the boundaries between science fiction and reality. The internet provides instant access to information, enabling readers to fact-check and understand scientific principles more thoroughly. Additionally, contemporary media literacy skills help modern audiences critically evaluate the plausibility of sci-fi narratives. Finally, the evolution of genre conventions over time has made readers more familiar with the tropes and themes commonly found in science fiction, enhancing their ability to distinguish fiction from reality.
If you mean the moon walk of the American NASA, that is reality, not fiction. If you mean Moonwalk by Michael Jackson, no, that is a biography.
There is no scientific name for a "weird alien plant" as alien plants do not exist outside of science fiction. In reality, plants are classified based on their characteristics and evolutionary relationships, not based on whether they are strange or extraterrestrial.
Probably not. Or let's just say that wormholes are very speculative. You'll encounter them more in science fiction stories (where it may suit a particular story plot!) than in serious science.
It references scientific principles and it is made up.
There is really no way to morph into things. This is a popular concept in science fiction but not in reality.
