Wormholes are theoretical.

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

What do you call a rip in space time?

It is not an established fact that space time has any rips in it, but the term wormhole has been used by physicists to describe a possible hole in the normal space time geometry, caused by an extreme gravitational field.


Theorectically how long would it take sound to travel 1 parsect if it could travel through space?

The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.


How far will gamma travel?

Gamma Rays will travel as long as they have energy


Can light travel through outerspace?

Yes, light can travel through outer space because it does not require a medium to propagate. In the vacuum of space, light can travel almost undisturbed for long distances until it interacts with matter.


How long does it take to travel through space?

With present technology it only takes a few minute to reach 'space'. To travel elsewhere would depend on your destination.


How long is a worm hole in space?

The Theory of a "worm hole" is a passage that leads people to the future other parts in space etc. This is just science fiction "worm holes" do not exist and if they did theyd be pretty short because its just from 1 place to another. imagine walking into your room and ending up in china that's what a wormhole would be like. SO Your question"How long is a worm hole in space?" has just been answered by a 13 year old boy :)


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.


How long would it take sound waves to reach Pluto?

Sound waves can't travel through space.


Which gases does sound travel through?

Sound can travel as long as there is something for it to travel through. This could be a gas (such as air), a liquid (such as water) or a solid (such as a metal). In outer space there is no air for the sound to travel though, so astronauts can not talk with each other unless they use a radio. Radio waves and light waves can travel through space, that is why we are able to receive light from the sun. Source: www.examville.com


How long does it take for the space shuttle to travel to space?

It takes three days to travel to the moon and land.


Is it possible for the space-time within a wormhole to contain a volume such that it is an inhabited sphere and any inhabitants of it would be unable to ascertain they were inside a wormhole?

What I think you are describing is the creation of a universe by pinching off a piece of ours. This is theoretically plausible, but the energies required are far beyond our capabilities. A wormhole, by definition, will have two throats that intersect "normal" space, and will not have a spherical topology. As long as those throats are open those within will be able to observe the outside universe. After closing the throats, through observation and measurement, the inhabitants could ascertain the topology of their universe. We are currently attempting to do the same thing.


Which electromagnetic waves are used for communication in space?

Radio waves are predominantly used for communication in space due to their long wavelengths that enable them to travel long distances without much interference. These waves are able to penetrate Earth's atmosphere and travel through space to reach distant spacecraft and satellites.
