Wormholes, conceptual tunnels slicing through spacetime, offer a theoretical shortcut between two distant cosmic points.

A Harvard physicist has likely ruined the dreams of many a science fiction fan by claiming a real wormhole would be useless for deep space travel. Films such as Stargate and Interstellar have used the ...

Wormholes are a hypothetical passage through the space-time fabric that in essence could provide a shortcut route for travelling between two points that are widely separated such as from one galaxy to ...

The concept of a time machine typically conjures up images of an implausible plot device used in a few too many science-fiction storylines. But according to Albert Einstein's general theory of ...

Back in the prehistoric days of theoretical astrophysics (1985), in a mystical and exotic corner of planet Earth (Fresno, California), a man sat in the back of a car and tried to break the spacetime ...

Science in the 21st century is awesome—we've seen the first ever direct photos of a black hole and we've sent queso to the moon. And today, scientists have confirmed that travel through wormholes is ...

Scientists have found a way to send humans through wormholes and keep them alive for the journey. The theory assumes a lot about various physics models that remain unproven. If you were to travel ...

In this weekly series, Life's Little Mysteries explores the plausibility of popular science fiction concepts. Sometimes warp speed just isn't an option. How, then, to traverse vast cosmic distances?

A physicist has shown that wormholes can exist: tunnels in curved space-time, connecting two distant places, through which travel is possible. But don't pack your bags for a trip to other side of the ...
