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 like ...

Are black holes surrounded by walls of fire? Does this imply that one (or more) of our most cherished physical principles–and here I’m talking about biggies like quantum theory, the conservation of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Physicists, mathematicians, astronomers, and even filmmakers have ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as ...

Black holes are usually cast as cosmic dead ends, places where matter and information vanish without a trace. A new mathematical model instead treats them as potential junctions, suggesting that under ...

Boundary issue: Finding the dual quantity to wormhole volume under the holographic principle is a key outstanding problem in quantum gravity. (Courtesy: AllenMcC., CC ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy remains positive and vanishes at ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. There's been a bit of buzz this week about an experiment that has ...

A century after wormholes were first theorized, scientists have posited that passages through space-time can be traversed using a special quantum connection between two black holes. Wormholes can ...

Wormholes are theoretical objects that could serve as portals between two points in space and time. Some believe they could even act as passageways to other universes. But if one did exist, what would ...

I cannot skip a paper that talks about making wormholes. Even if they are fake wormholes. And even if, after reading the paper, I’m not sure that the researchers have made fake wormholes, I simply can ...
