The Wormhole

A wormhole is a theoretical shortcut through spacetime that connects distant points in the universe, much like a tunnel with two openings. Imagine folding a piece of paper so two marked spots touch; a wormhole would be the tunnel bridging those two points, allowing for potentially faster-than-light travel between them. While mathematically possible according to Einstein’s general relativity, wormholes have not been observed and may require extraordinary conditions, such as exotic matter, to remain stable. They are intriguing concepts that could revolutionize our understanding of space and time if proven to exist.
