Last week we introduced what we would be researching for the next few weeks: Teleportation. It's going to be absolutely fantastic! Hahahahehehe... (sobs uncontrollably)....
JUST SO MANY THEORIES! Gahhh. But no matter, because you will be the next victi- uhhh participants in discovering new knowledge! Today, another matter of familiarity will be brought up to us again, and that is the wormhole. Like I said before, time travel and teleportation are closely related, in the case that the theories involve both location AND time. The following information was found using the Discover site. Go check it out and read about it before moving on.
I'll wait....................... You done? Good.
Wormholes are just FANTASTIC to read about. It's absolute fun to be confused until my head hurts. No matter, because I will try my best to explain it to you. Specifically, what I want to talk about is the traversable wormhole. It is a theoretical passage, like a tunnel, except it can transport you from one location in space to another in mere seconds. Seems like a good deal right? Well too bad it isn't actually proven to work yet. The fact of the matter is that wormholes have an enormous amount of gravity within the throat of it all, so any traveler would be utterly squished. What scientists have discovered is that the throat needs special things to stabilize and open the throat: negative mass and negative energy. Even if we could get some of the stuff within our grasps, manipulating enough of it to get enough to stabilize a wormhole would be utterly impossible.
With this information, both in time travel and teleportation, I think it's safe to say that the wormhole idea is out. But even though we can't achieve it NOW, perhaps LATER, we'll be able to accomplish wormhole travel. So, let's not set it aside as an impossibility forever. Just for now.
Information like this, familiar ones related to previous time travel discussions is some of what you will see in the next few posts. For now, so long, for I need rest from reading all this sciency stuff. Goodbye!
