'A
wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature that would fundamentally act as
a shortcut through spacetime.' It perhaps acts as a time machine. Scientists
believe that Wormholes do exist at a minute level (sub-atomic).
In 1935,
Einstein and colleague Nathan Rosen built the theory about this. Thus, they are
also known as Einstein-Rosen bridges. For long, we humans have fantasized travelling
through time. We might not be too far away from the day where we would
penetrate through the spacetime continuum.
The LHC
created in Switzerland is the largest particle accelerator 27 kilometers in
length. It has opened the gate to solving various mysteries of physics. The
particle named as The God Particle's (Higgs-Boson) existence has been confirmed
by the scientists! Another major invention is the creation of a magnetic
wormhole
Earlier
this year, scientists in Spain claimed to have made a wormhole from a magnetic
point of view. It would transfer magnetic energy or field from one point to the
other in spacetime through an extra-spatial dimension (contrary to our 3
dimensions, obviously)!
It is also
believed that Wormholes may exist inside a Blackhole. A Blackhole is a region
in spacetime where the gravity is so massive that nothing (not even light) can
escape from its effect. According to Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational
acceleration of an object is proportional to the mass of the object and
inversely proportional to the square of its radius. So a Blackhole is a region
with tons of mass and radius equal to a single point where all of its mass is
concentrated. This single point is called 'Singularity' of a Blackhole.
The nature
of spacetime in a Blackhole is too much distorted and according to a new
theory, Blackholes may actually act as Wormholes. They can connect two
different points in an altogether different reality. This approach seems to be
a far-fetched idea, though.
It is also
proposed that Wormholes might solve the mystery behind Big-Bang theory.
Ultimately, the theory of Wormholes is in its infant stages and needs a lot of
improvement if we ever want to unify the laws of physics at the super-galactic
and sub-atomic level.
But that
doesn’t discourage us from travelling through time!
