From Stargate to Interstellar, wormholes are our favorite method for traveling across fictional universes. But they are also a very serious field of study for some of our greatest minds over the last century. So what’s the holdup? When do we get to wormhole ourselves out of here?

Remember how the tarot card readings are so accurate, yet I also met one of my Ancestors back in 2012 on Bali as Bali 4 mountains area is the Gate 7 of Planet Earth's Chakra 7th which is Mount Kailash Tibet (China/India), my belated Mother who passed away in her 27 years old of age with my younger sister just after birth also met Ancestors at her teenage and also quantum traveled with my belated younger Auntie from one point to another in a same day here on Sumatra Indonesia by a lightbeings we called The Bunians.

The best way to survive going through a wormhole is to install a teleporter device on either end, then just send the teleporter data between the sides. This also greatly reduces the amount of exotic matter a space traveler needs to make in their particle accelerator.
@h4z4rd1000 4 ай бұрын
It would also kill the traveler at the beginning of the travel and then create a replica on the other side. Doesn't Heisenbergs uncertainty principle prevent us from creating anything like a teleporter?

On a serious note, a galactic-scale pandemic is pretty much impossible, because of vast distances and time periods required to travel that far. By the time a ship would reach another star (actually, its surroundings), all the sick people would have healed and developed immunity. And it would be like 10th generation of people at best. But I like the idea, would be nice to have it in the next version of Plague Inc 😀

@thenovicenovelist 10 ай бұрын
I agree. It's one thing to know the subject matter. Being able to explain it in a way that non-experts can understand it is a completely different skill. I have a M.S. in Marketing Communications, but I love learning about space and my childhood dream was to work as an astronomer for SETI. My former best friend got her PhD in molecular biology. She had this ability to break down complex knowledge into easy-to-understand explanations. I told her that was an impressive skill to have and she could use it in a variety of ways. Unfortunately, she was so worried about making her future in-laws like her, she did a complete 180 on her personality and now she's a pretty hateful person who believes in religious conspiracy theories peddled by her in-laws and social media rather than actual science. It's very sad.

Agree with you dude, they really should rename this channel something like “sci-fi debunked” as that’s all this guy ever talks about! But I wouldn’t worry, they are constantly proving and disproving things, some people like to believe we are the night of scientific understanding, but if you listen long enough, they all say that what we know about physics is barely scratched the surface. One thing he said though is completely true, it will be hundreds of years though before we actually have any concept of the real story. Human kind will (if we make it through quarantine) crack faster than light travel, in every century you have the nay sayers who say “man cannot fly” and “man cannot travel into space” because they apart her shady believe they know matter of factly it’s not possible, with all the “scientific” evidence to back themselves up, but it’s the dreamers who find the way for everyone.

@TheSaneHatter Жыл бұрын
Here's a compromise theory to suggest: while your "not even light can get through" comment seems to put the kibosh on it already, is it possible to employ or create wormholes so that, if not physical matter, at least INFORMATION can get through? If that's true, then wormholes could at least be used as a fast means of interstellar *communication*, rather than travel. (I'm thinking of Reg Barclay's "micro-wormholes" from "Voyager," of course.) Also, if a wormhole could be identified, and the other point somehow located, could they be used as a means for navigation, as opposed to propulsion?

Information can't travel faster than light, though, since the speed of light is the speed of causality.
@stewiesaidthat Жыл бұрын
@Moonsong causality is instantaneous. It's the effect that travels at the speed of light or sound. The layer of the universe that you exist in is defined by energy. Electromagnetic waves are the fastest anything can travel within that layer. The speed of an electromagnetic wave is dependent on the energy density of the region of space it is traveling through. To travel faster than light, you just need to cross over into the next layer. Similar to how a fish out of water can fly faster through the air than it can swim in the ocean.

Let's assume you have a stable, traversable wormhole: How would you control the location of the entrance/exit?
@someguy7137 4 жыл бұрын
Idk make somkind of engine with the anti matter that is able to move the hole around. Like the barrel of a gun the entry probably wouldn't have to move much to have a massive effect on the exit point
@whatsupbudbud 4 жыл бұрын
You would create the wormhole with specific destination in mind.
@garethdean6382 4 жыл бұрын
A wormhole's exit has energy and thus responds to gravity. You can 'tow' it behind a large mass (Or if the energy is negative, push it). Similar ideas have been mooted for moving asteroids or small black holes. Of course if the wormhole is very massive you might have to move a star to shift it.
