Wormholes: the modern-day equivalent of the Philosopher’s stone, a concept that has captured the imagination of millions of sci-fi fans and has appeared in multiple films and novels. Alas, all of them ...

Black holes are usually cast as cosmic dead ends, places where matter and information vanish without a trace. A new ...

Wormholes are a fascinating concept in physics that postulate passages that connect two different points in spacetime — typically black holes — together. Think “Interstellar” or “Event Horizon.” These ...

A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official concept in math, referring to two surfaces that may be transposable. In this ...

A new experiment using Google’s Sycamore quantum processor has taken a bold step toward testing ideas from quantum gravity. For the first time, researchers successfully sent quantum information ...

Scientists and science-fiction writers alike have long been fascinated by wormholes—theoretical tunnels that link two points in space-time, potentially creating shortcuts for travel through the ...

Everybody wants a wormhole. I mean, who wants to bother traveling the long-and-slow routes throughout the universe, taking tens of thousands of years just to reach yet another boring star? Not when ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. String theory captured the hearts and minds of many physicists decades ago because of a beautiful simplicity. Zoom in far enough on a ...

A physicist has shown that wormholes can exist: tunnels in curved space-time, connecting two distant places, through which travel is possible. But don't pack your bags for a trip to other side of the ...

Theoretically, the universe may be riddled with tunnels through space and time. Two scientists have now proposed a way to detect the existence of a cosmic escape hatch. By Dennis Overbye Want to get ...
