Do you travel at the speed of light in a wormhole?

Nobody has measured this, and it isn't even known whether a wormhole actually exist. Probably not - they are very hypothetical. The idea of a wormhole, however, is that it would let you travel instantly, or almost instantly, from one point to another, distant, point. From the point of view of an outside observer, this would let you travel much faster than the speed of light - and therefore, it would also be possible to travel backwards in time.

Where can a wormhole take you?

A wormhole, if you were to dive into it, can take you anywhere in space or time. So say the science-fiction delighters, who ignore the fact that you can't survive a leap into a wormhole. Wormholes are hypothetical, mathematically possible but unobserved and therefore hypothetical. If a wormhole were to take you back in time, it could only take you as far back as the age of the wormhole. A wormhole has two ends, an in and an out. Imagine the out end oscillating at the speed of light from the moment the wormhole forms. Time stops for that end of the wormhole relative to the in end which oscillates at a leisurely pace in this illustration. Imagine you leave the wormhole from its birth for a year and then leap into the in end. You would emerge from the out end a year into the past. Imagine leaving the wormhole for a century. You could jump in and emerge from the out end a century into the past. But you can't travel back to a time older than the wormhole.


How fast would an object have to travel to enter a wormhole?

If you were close enough you would fall right in regardless of your speed as a wormhole (if such things exist) would behave practically the same as a blackhole (which have been shown to exist).


How do you travel in the speed of light?

You don't. The only objects that can travel at the speed of light are those that ONLY travel at that speed, like photons or gravitons.

Is it light or dark in a wormhole?

It depends if light can travel in it or not. If not, then it will be dark and nothing can go in. If so, then it will look like space, or its surroundings, however bright or dark they are.


Can you travel faster than light if you take advantage of wormholes and that would it not affect the relativity?

I am pretty sure a wormhole is just bending the fabric of space and making a wrinkle and going through the wrinkle to the other side, if light were to follow you into the wormhole, it'd go faster than you, if it were not and depending on the span of the wormhole, you could theoretically beat the light by taking it as a shortcut


Is A Time Machine Real?

A time machine has never been invented, it has always been an theory. Scientists say that if you open a wormhole then you can create a hole in space-time which enables to travel in time. Some say a wormhole can't be open, so time-travel is impossible. Some say that if you manage to travel at 99% the speed of light, the time will slow down. Means in the the transport in which you are travelling the time speed will remain normal but outside time will be moving fast, very fast. It is estimated that in a week you can travel ahead 50 years. If one travels greater than the speed of time you can travel in the past. But the laws of physics says nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light. Even Einstein considered that. The question remains a mystery. Who knows, one day time travel might become a common thing!
