“The whole thing is very hypothetical at this point,” Stephen Hsu said of wormholes, a caution that still defines the subject even as the idea keeps resurfacing in serious physics. The appeal is ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 2019, LIGO and Virgo detected GW190521—a mysterious gravitational wave that could mark either the colossal merger of two black ...

In some ways, a wormhole might look like a black hole. And the wormhole would look like a sphere, not a hole. Einstein's theory of general relativity allows for the possibility of wormholes, but there ...

Wormholes are a sci-fi staple, and and it's possible that they exist in the real universe. But how would they work? Physicists have now used a quantum processor to simulate a traversable wormhole, ...

Scientists made headlines last week for supposedly generating a wormhole. The research, reported in Nature, involves the use of a quantum computer to simulate a wormhole in a simplified model of ...

A scientist believes his working blueprint for a lab-based wormhole moves us toward “counterportation.” The scientist’s claims rely on the creation of a new quantum computer that doesn’t exchange ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Scientists made headlines last week for supposedly generating a wormhole. The research, reported in Nature, involves the use of a ...
