Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity allows\u00a0magnetic wormholes to be a\u00a0possibility. But no one has ever observed a wormhole yet. Black holes were theorised to exist as a result of General Relativity<\/span>, and later observed as our tech improved. Our own Milky Way has one at the center called Sagittarius A*. Wormholes however, remain elusive – which relegates wormholes slightly towards the realm of science fiction. Just the spacetime ones though, because physicists have now managed to create a magnetic wormhole<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To understand a magnetic wormhole and its significance, we need an understanding of general spacetime wormholes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen proposed the wormhole concept in 1935 using General Relativity. A wormhole is a \u2018bridge\u2019 that connects two different regions of space-time across the universe. Imagine two blackholes connected to teach other – you get sucked in via one end and eject through the other. That’s a wormhole.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n A wormhole is therefore, a very convenient way to achieve faster-than-light speeds to traverse the universe. Interstellar did its part popularising the concept to a mass audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Physics of a Wormhole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
