What is a Wormhole?


A wormhole is a theoretical passage through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe. Wormholes are predicted by the theory of general relativity. But be wary: wormholes bring with them the dangers of sudden collapse, high radiation and dangerous contact with exotic matter.

I was reading a while ago a transcript of Stephen Hawking’s lecture on Space and Time Warps...and now I'm having a few more questions plus a bunch of scenarios that my brain is trying to evaluate.


Read the transcript here but warning...is addictive:
