Back in the prehistoric days of theoretical astrophysics (1985), in a mystical and exotic corner of planet Earth (Fresno, California), a man sat in the back of a car and tried to break the spacetime continuum. His name was Kip Thorne: future scientific ...

Wormholes, theoretical passages through space-time, have captivated scientists and science fiction enthusiasts alike for decades. With the potential to connect distant regions of the universe, wormholes offer exciting possibilities for interstellar travel ...

Scientists have found a way to send humans through wormholes and keep them alive for the journey. The theory assumes a lot about various physics models that remain unproven. If you were to travel through one, time would pass by thousands of years for ...

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 through a quantum system in a way that mirrors how a ...

Researchers have used a method to investigate spacetime structures using inhomogeneous materials and thereby create a type of ‘wormhole’, or rather something analogous to a wormhole, by producing the phenomenon within a curved laboratory frame.

The prospect that wormholes could one day enable time travel isn't new. In fact, the use of wormholes to transport yourself across vast distances of space and time has been used in science fiction for decades. But what if it wasn't just science fiction?

Fancy a trip down a wormhole? We have never been quite sure whether these portals through space-time could exist long enough for anything to travel through. Now calculations suggest they could stick around for a while – perhaps as long as the universe ...
