Unlike black holes—also once thought to be purely theoretical—no evidence for an actual wormhole has ever been found, although they are fascinating from an abstract theoretical physics perceptive.

Pictorial Press Ltd., via Alamy Wormholes entered the physics lexicon in 1935 as one of the weirder predictions of Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, which describes how matter and ...

The shortcuts came to be called Einstein-Rosen bridges, or wormholes. "The whole thing is very hypothetical at this point," said Stephen Hsu, a professor of theoretical physics at the University ...

The team was investigating an intriguing correlation between wormholes and quantum physics – the idea of a wormhole sending things across the universe in the blink of an eye sounds suspiciously ...

But really, the physics we're talking about here is the same in both cases." The surprising aspect of the wormhole trick isn't that the message made it through in some form but that it emerged ...

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space ...

The notion that wormholes and quantum physics, specifically entanglement (a phenomenon in which two particles can remain connected across vast distances), may have a connection was first proposed ...

Wormholes (as far as we know) only exist in the world of theoretical astrophysics and myriad sci-fi stories. But scientists are trying to piece together what such a celestial phenomenon might look ...

This allowed them to investigate the physics of wormholes and their potential connection to so-called 'quantum gravity.' "We found a quantum system that exhibits key properties of a gravitational ...

That’s because there has not yet been definitive proof that wormholes are in fact out there. However, some of the solutions to fundamental equations and theories in physics suggest that such an ...

It would be a remarkable feat to create even a wormhole facsimile with quantum mechanics, an entirely different branch of physics that has long been at odds with gravity. And indeed, three months ...

Scientists have developed a quantum experiment that allows them to study the dynamics, or behavior, of a special kind of theoretical wormhole. Scientists have, for the first time, developed a ...
