Sci-fi works often describe the method of using "wormholes" or "wormholes" to travel long distances in space. These "wormholes" supposedly allow time travel, but for this they must be found or correctly created. These magical bridges have been of interest to ufologists for more than one year. Are they possible in reality?
Man and space
Despite the fact that recently our astronomers and other scientists have made a lot of discoveries related to space, the future of man in outer space continues to look hazy. The fact is that all our "modern technologies" are still too imperfect and weak to travel super-long distances in space. We cannot yet reach the planets of our planetary solar system. What then can we say about more distant space objects? Nowadays, human life is not enough to fly to the closest star to us (not the Sun). To carry out such flights, we need a special high-tech ultra-high-speed spacecraft or "magic portal" that allows us to "jump" in time and space. In theory, such a portal can be a "wormhole", which is also called a "wormhole".
Scientists call a "wormhole" a kind of bridge connecting two points in space and time. To use such a bridge, you need to determine the direction, wait until the stargate stabilizes, then enter one point of the wormhole and almost instantly find yourself in another. Of course, everything looks good, but, unfortunately, no one has yet created these "wormholes".
Where did the information about wormholes come from?
"Wormholes" in scientific circles are called "Theoretical Einstein-Rosen Bridge". This is a kind of means that allows you to pierce space and time. Simply put, using the "hole" you can connect any two points in outer space. In the future, it will be possible to instantly move between these points.

A classic example of demonstrating a "wormhole" can be called an ordinary drawing: two points are drawn on a sheet, and then the sheet is folded so that they touch each other. Then they are pierced with a pencil, which serves as an imitation of a "wormhole". I wonder how physics relates to such a phenomenon?
At one time, Einstein demonstrated that gravity cannot be called a force capable of attracting matter like a magnet. Rather, it bends space and time. For example, Earth's companion Moon "thinks" that it is moving in a straight line in space. In fact, it flies along a path curved by Earth's gravity.
Einstein and Rosen believed that time-space could be confused so much that its two points would have a physical location. In order to create a "wormhole", it is necessary to master the above phenomenon in such a way that it is possible to separate two points in time-space and move them to the required distance. It is important that they maintain the same location while doing so. If you dive into such a "gravitational pool" at one point, you can instantly find yourself in another point.
Arguments against wormholes
First of all, "holes" cannot be traversed according to general relativity. The strangest thing is that physics, which, as it were, predicts such things, disputes them itself - makes them impassable.
In addition, wormholes cannot be stable in nature. They should collapse immediately after birth. If something sticks into the end of such a "hole", then, most likely, it will be in an ordinary black hole.
Even if the "wormhole" does not immediately collapse, it will certainly happen after something is inside it.
"Wormholes" may exist
The universe as we know it is designed in such a way that it can by itself hide the presence of the above portals. By the way, they could appear after the Big Bang, like many other things that our scientists have not yet been able to understand. It is believed that the Explosion entangled space into a singularity described by Einstein and Rosen.
Some astronomers suggest looking for "wormholes" in the following way: observe how their gravity distorts the light of the stars behind them. Unfortunately, so far this method has not yielded results.
The existence of wormholes continues to be disputed. Even if we ever find such a portal, we will have to learn how to maintain it in a stable functional state, which is not yet possible even theoretically. It is hoped that in the near future we will find another way to travel long cosmic distances, since wormholes are still too unrealistic an option.
