, WORMHOLES

Wormholes are hypothetical areas of warped spacetime with great energy that can create tunnels through spacetime. If traversable would allow a traveler to quickly move through great distances in space and also travel through time. The key characteristics of the application of wormholes are time control and time travel. The basic notion of an intra-universe wormhole is that it is a compact region of spacetime whose boundary is topologically trivial but whose interior is not simply connected. Wormholes connect two points in spacetime, which means that they in principle allow travel in time, as well as in space. Wormholes allow superluminal (faster-than-light) travel by ensuring that the speed of light is not exceeded locally at any time. Theories of wormhole metrics describe the spacetime geometry of a wormhole and serve as theoretical models for time travel. The idea of traveling through an exotically warped spacetime that would allow quantum effects, as well as particles to pass unscathed continues to fascinate. It's exactly the kind of science firmly planted in the equations of physics.
