For most of the past century, wormholes sat comfortably in the realm of science fiction, a mathematical curiosity that let ...

If wormholes exist, they could magnify the light of distant objects by up to 100,000 times — and that could be the key to finding them. Wormholes are theoretical funnel-shaped portals through which ...

Wormholes have been a staple of science fiction for decades, promising instant travel across vast distances of space and time. But in real physics, they’re far stranger—and far more problematic—than ...

The idea that wormholes are real may seem far-fetched. In fact, thinking of a tunnel that bores from one point in space to another that is thousands of light-years away seems like something from ...

A team of physicists from Sofia University in Bulgaria say that wormholes, which are hypothetical tunnels linking one part of the universe to another, might be hiding in plain sight — in the form of ...

Featured prominently in books like "The Forever War," games like "Portal," and films like "Interstellar," wormholes have got to be the most popular natural phenomenon in sci-fi, and we don't even know ...

Churning nano-wormholes could explain the clash in our cosmological constants. The wormholes add magnitude to a math parameter called the Gauss-Bonnet term. Boosting one term in a complex equation ...

The prospect that wormholes could one day enable time travel isn't new. In fact, the use of wormholes to transport yourself across vast distances of space and time has been used in science fiction for ...

If wormholes – strange tunnels connecting two regions of space-time – exist, we may be able to spot them by the way they magnify light. This phenomenon, in which light from behind a cosmic object is ...

Wormholes are a sci-fi staple, and and it's possible that they exist in the real universe. But how would they work? Physicists have now used a quantum processor to simulate a traversable wormhole, ...

If wormholes exist, they might magnify distant objects according to Einstein's theory of relativity — and that makes it possible for us to find them, new research suggests. When you purchase through ...
