Wormholes have long served as science fiction’s favorite shortcut through the cosmos, but a growing body of theoretical physics research suggests they will never function as tunnels. That does not ...

A new study outlines a method for detecting a speculative phenomenon that has long captured the imagination of sci-fi fans: wormholes, which form a passage between two separate regions of spacetime.

Scientists think they’ve come up with a way to detect traversable wormholes, assuming they exist. If a wormhole were to exist, then the gravitational pull of objects on one side, like black holes or ...

If there was a wormhole in the center of our galaxy, how could we tell? Two physicists propose that carefully watching the motions of a star orbiting the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole might help ...

The following is an extract from our monthly Launchpad newsletter, in which resident space expert Leah Crane journeys through the solar system, the galaxy and beyond. You can sign up for Launchpad for ...

Wormholes are essentially passages between two points of time and space. However, while they are regularly a featured trope on sci-fi, there is no solid evidence that they exist in the real world.

Wormholes have long been a staple of science fiction. These theoretical shortcuts through the galaxy could let us explore the universe without all that mucking about in hyperspace. It would be great ...
