This article is the transcript of the audio-visual presentation titled ‘Wormholes: Science Fiction or Pure Fantasy?’ [7] prior to Hollywood’s release of the movie ‘Interstellar’, the plot of which involves astronauts travelling through a wormhole to save the Human Race. It is explained in simply terms why the wormhole has no relation to reality, just as the black hole has no relation to reality.

Wormholes are a speculative derivation of the Einstein's equations since the pioneer works of Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in 1935. The cosmology recently opened a door for the possibility of the existence of wormholes, because 73% of the matter of the Universe is made of dark energy, which could collapse to a star with an inner wormhole. If this could be possible, then the star-trek would be a reality.
Arguments for the existence of wormholes and the possibility that these wormholes are the direct causation of perceived paranormal experiences and effects
IJARW, 2021
The term wormhole was first used by theoretical physicist John Wheeler to relate two different points in space-time, a phenomenon that would be able to reduce the time and distance of space travel. This idea is based on the theory of relativity, developed by Einstein, but so far, none of this has been discovered. According to physicists, a wormhole is so similar to a black hole that it would be impossible to distinguish one from the other. Both affect the matter around them in the same way, as both distort the space-time continuum around them in the same way. What could distinguish the two would be Hawking radiation, an emission of particles and light that would only originate in black holes. Recent space research studies suggest that the Milky Way may contain a gigantic galactic tunnel, allowing human passage and travel.

In The Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard explores the power of “poetic images” that form the foundation of our phenomenological experience of space. Demonstrating their ubiquity through examples in poetry, Bachelard suggests that these poetic spatialities can give us insight into the articulation of primal metaphors; the nest as well-fitting shelter, the shell as body inhabited by a soul. If things as common-place as nests and shells resonate with a rich poetic dynamism, then what desires and apprehensions, spatial dreams and fantasies clamour around something as exotic and super-natural as a Wormhole? This paper is an preliminary reconnaissance into Wormholes, taking Bachelard's 'topoanalysis' – the systematic psychological study of sites – as a point-of-departure. It forms a tentative “Poetics of Wormholes” exploring the imaginative significance of the wormhole beyond its literal definition, though using science fiction rather than poetry as a source of reference material.

Wormholes, those enigmatic theoretical constructs woven into the fabric of space-time, have long sparked the curiosity and wonder of both the scientific community and the public at large. These hypothetical tunnels, known in scientific circles as Einstein-Rosen bridges, are posited to create a cosmic shortcut that could link disparate corners of our vast universe. The concept of wormholes is not merely an abstract idea but a complex phenomenon that poses significant challenges, necessitating innovative and cross-disciplinary research strategies. Numerous esteemed scholars have dedicated their intellect to unraveling the mysteries surrounding wormholes and endeavoring to uncover tangible evidence of their existence within the cosmos. However, unlike their astronomical counterpart-the black hole-wormholes elude direct detection as of now. The potential ramifications of wormholes are profound and far-reaching; they venture into speculative territories such as enabling faster-than-light voyages, facilitating time travel, and bridging immense interstellar distances for communication purposes. These prospects push against the very boundaries of our current understanding of causality and reality itself. Moreover, this paper delves into not only the scientific but also ethical and philosophical considerations that surface with the prospect of manipulating space-time-a notion that remains purely theoretical in absence of empirical evidence to substantiate wormholes' presence. As an area steeped in speculation yet rich with profound implications, wormhole research doesn't just stretch the limits of theoretical physics-it beckons us to re-evaluate our fundamental comprehension of universal structure and ponder our role within its expanse.

One of the most consistently fascinating results of Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity is the prediction of wormholes – astronomical objects which are, among other things, capable of serving as a connection between two distant regions of space. The simplest class of wormholes are Schwarzschild wormholes – wormholes that behave as non-rotating, non-charged black holes, except that the event horizon serves as a connection to another wormhole elsewhere, instead of a point of no return. This research presentation analyzes the attributes that make a Schwarzschild wormhole unsuitable for human travel, and examines the conditions that would have to hold for human travel through a wormhole to be possible. Following the work of Morris and Thorne, we examine the constraints that these conditions place on the metric and on the stress-energy tensor. It is shown that these constraints require a configuration of matter that violates accepted energy conditions, and is therefore likel...
The Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein field equation leads to a solution that has been interpreted as wormholes. Many have been skeptical about this interpretation. However, many researchers have also been positive about it. We show that wormholes are not mathematically allowed in the spherical metric of a newlyreleased unified quantum gravity theory known as collision space-time [1-3]. We therefore have reasons to believe that wormholes in general relativity theory are nothing more than a mathematical artifact due to an incomplete theory, but we are naturally open for discussions about this point. That wormholes likely do not exist falls nicely into line with a series of other intuitive predictions from collision space-time where general relativity theory falls short, such as matching the full specter of the Planck scale for micro black "holes".

In a brane-world context in which our universe would be a four-dimensional brane embedded into a five-dimensional spacetime or bulk, wormhole geometries are induced on branes. In this article, the Morris-Thorne wormhole and the Molina-Neves wormhole are obtained on the brane using the Nakas-Kanti approach, which starts from a regular five-dimensional spacetime to obtain known black hole and wormhole solutions on the four-dimensional brane. From the bulk perspective, these wormholes are five-dimensional solutions supported by an exotic fluid, but from the brane perspective, such objects are wormholes not supported by any fields or particles that live on the four-dimensional spacetime. Thus, the cause of these wormholes is the bulk influence on the brane.
Quantum gravity and the creation of wormholes NEW VERSION, 2024
Quantum gravity is a very important research topic in theoretical physics because it is believed to bridge quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of general relativity. This may be true, but quantum gravity is important to basic science primarily because it would show how gravity works on an extremely small scale of spacetime, the quantum level. This work presents many new discoveries that reveal the nature of gravity at the quantum level. Albert Einstein described how gravity works on the macro- and mega-level (i.e. the level of planets and galaxies), but not on the quantum level. In order to understand gravity at the quantum level, it is first necessary to know Einstein's theory of general relativity, with which this work begins. In this paper, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has been presented and derived as simply as possible, which means that all irrelevant aspects of general relativity have been omitted. Modern theoretical physics tries to simplify existing theories as much as possible, eliminating all irrelevant information. General relativity can be mathematically extremely complex and a very bulky physical theory, but in this work it is presented and also derived in the most direct and simple way that has not been done anywhere and ever before. This is necessary in particular for understanding quantum gravity. Another comprehensive topic is the physics of wormholes. The physical and mathematical interpretation of wormholes has actually been known for about a hundred years, but their technical creation has not been possible until now. However, in this work, apart from the nature of the wormhole, its technical feasibility is also shown, which has not been presented before. In particular, one specific part of the technology for creating wormholes (the outer part of the machine) is described, which is currently being processed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office ( in 2023 – 2024 ). Thus, the inventor of such technology is licensed by the USPTO. One of the biggest obstacles to the technical creation of wormholes was the production of the necessary energy, but the new discoveries presented in this work show that this is not necessary. The key to the creation of wormholes lies in the changes or creation of energy fields that occur exactly at the speed of light. Physical states that change or arise at the speed of light are also accompanied by the emergence of abstract geometric surfaces with time and space curved to infinity. The actual creation of wormholes is crucial to humanity's plans for the future. They would be practically indispensable for, for example, space travel to great distances, and wormholes would also allow people to travel in time to the past and the future. Time travel could be used in the study of human history and would be a very good tool for accurate weather forecasting, for example. For a long time, wormholes were considered the realm of science fiction and fantasy literature, and in some cases even pseudoscience. However, new discoveries concerning the possibility of their creation, which are thoroughly presented in this work, make the existence of wormholes a tangible reality. This work is primarily aimed at an academic audience, such as students, graduate students, lecturers, researchers, but also interested parties, industrialists and even managers of technology companies and organizations. This work requires the readers to have university-level knowledge of theoretical physics and to a lesser extent of engineering. This work is a part of a larger research work, the content of which is the development of the physical theory of time travel and its technology. References concerning it are also presented in this work.
