What is speed in a wormhole?

I'm guessing you're thinking of that Stargate TV show? Where they step into a wormhole and fly through it somehow?? Real wormholes, if they even exist, are very different.

Inside a wormhole you follow the same rules as in normal space, it is a tunnel of normal space punched through spacetime. Think of it like this: You are on one side of a VERY big mountain and you need to get to the other side. You would have to walk a VERY long way over the mountain and that would take a VERY long time. It would be a lot simpler if there were a tunnel going under the mountain it would make the journey A LOT easier. When going through the tunnel you would be walking at the same speed but you would be going a shorter distance to get from one side of the mountain to the other, thus saving time making the same journey.

This is how a wormhole would work in real life. You would still have to travel through it at conventional speeds but you would need to go a shorter distance through the 'tunnel' you have made. It would be as if you were going far faster without actually going any faster.

Has anyone gone in a wormhole?

In the law of physics, wormhole can possibly exists, but no one ever found a wormhole or seen. there is no evidence that wormhole can exist.


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).

In the law of physics, wormhole can possibly exists, but no one ever found a wormhole or seen. there is no evidence that wormhole can exist.


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.


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.

How can wormhole benefit us?

In the law of physics, wormhole can possibly exists, but no one ever found a wormhole or seen. there is no evidence that wormhole can exist. Though if wormhole exist, it is like having a shortcut; you can go to other universes and also you can use it as a time machine.


What is a wormhole made for?

there is no evidence that a wormhole exist, but in the law of physics, wormhole can possibly exist. And if a wormhole exist, it is a short cut for traveling into other universes such as parallel universe and also for time traveling.


How can wormholes be observed?

no one ever seen a wormhole before. There is no evidence that a wormhole exist, but in the law of physics, a wormhole can possibly be exist.


Does a wormhole bring you to different galaxys?

In the law of physics, wormhole can possibly exists, but no one ever found a wormhole or seen. there is no evidence that wormhole can exist. And if wormhole exists,it wont bring you to other galaxy, but you go to other universes through it and also travel in time.
