Wormholes are often imagined as tunnels through space or time—shortcuts across the universe. But this image rests on a misunderstanding of work by physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.

For most of the past century, wormholes sat comfortably in the realm of science fiction, a mathematical curiosity that let ...

Wormholes have been a staple of science fiction for decades, promising instant travel across vast distances of space and time ...

Microscopic wormholes may be driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, scientists say. These tiny wormholes are constantly being born from the vacuum of space due to subtle quantum effects.

In an effort to bring together the domains of gravity and quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed a ...

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 ...

Researchers suggest that tiny wormholes could be punching microscopic holes through the fabric of space-time, Live Science reports, thereby driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. For ...

The wormhole concept is explained in the fifth season of Stranger Things when science teacher Scott Clarke — played by Randy Havens –– tries to get his class interested in it. "What's neat about ...
