Astrophysicists are sure: there are tunnels in space through which you can travel to other universes and even to other times. Presumably, they formed when the universe was just being born. When, as scientists say, space “boiled” and curved
These space "time machines" were given the name "wormholes". The "hole" differs from a black hole in that you can not only get there, but also come back. The time machine exists. And this is no longer a statement of science fiction writers - four mathematical formulas, which are still proving in theory - you can move both into the future and into the past.
And a computer model. Something like this should look like a "time machine" in space: two holes in space and time, connected by a corridor.
“In this case we are talking about very unusual objects that were discovered in the theory of Einstein. According to this theory, in a very strong field, space is curved, and time is twisted, then slows down, these are fantastic properties,”explains Igor Novikov, Deputy Director of the Astro Space Center of FIAN.
Scientists called such unusual objects "wormholes". This is not at all a human invention, so far only nature is capable of creating a time machine. Today, astrophysicists have only hypothetically proved the existence of "wormholes" in the Universe. It's up to practice.
The search for "wormholes" is one of the main tasks of modern astronomy. “They started talking about black holes sometime in the late 60s, and when they made these reports, it seemed fantastic. It seemed to everyone that this was an absolute fantasy - now it is on everyone's lips, - says Anatoly Cherepashchuk, director of the Astronomical Institute of Moscow State University named after Sternberg. - So now "wormholes" are also fantasy, nevertheless, the theory predicts that "wormholes" exist. I am an optimist and I think that wormholes will also be opened someday."
"Wormholes" belong to such a mysterious phenomenon as "dark energy", which makes up 70 percent of the universe. “Now dark energy is discovered - it is a vacuum that has negative pressure. And in principle, "wormholes" could be formed from a vacuum state, "- suggests Anatoly Cherepashchuk. One of the habitats of "wormholes" is the centers of galaxies. But the main thing here is not to confuse them with black holes, huge objects that are also located in the center of galaxies.
Their mass is billions of our Suns. At the same time, black holes have a powerful gravitational force. It is so large that even light cannot escape from there, so it is impossible to see them through an ordinary telescope. The gravity of the wormholes is also enormous, but if you look inside the wormhole, you can see the light of the past.
“In the center of galaxies, in their cores, there are very compact objects, these are black holes, but it is assumed that some of these black holes are not black holes at all, but the entrances to these 'wormholes',” says Igor Novikov. More than three hundred black holes have been discovered today.
The distance from Earth to the center of our Milky Way galaxy is 25,000 light years. If it turns out that this black hole is a "wormhole", a corridor for travel in time, humanity will fly and fly to it.
