A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official ...

The team was investigating an intriguing correlation between wormholes and quantum physics – the idea of a wormhole sending things across the universe in the blink of an eye sounds suspiciously like ...

Wormholes sit at the edge of serious physics and science fiction, yet the math behind them is precise enough to suggest that ...

Are black holes surrounded by walls of fire? Does this imply that one (or more) of our most cherished physical principles–and here I’m talking about biggies like quantum theory, the conservation of ...

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 ...

Boundary issue: Finding the dual quantity to wormhole volume under the holographic principle is a key outstanding problem in quantum gravity. (Courtesy: AllenMcC., CC ...

The metal sphere lets one magnetic field pass through another undetected, which could lead to improvements in medical imaging Jesse Emspak Wormholes are science fiction staples that can send travelers ...

Quantum entanglement (also known as “spooky action at a distance”) is one of the most bizarre things we see happening with particle interactions on a microscale. Instead of acting as one solitary ...

I cannot skip a paper that talks about making wormholes. Even if they are fake wormholes. And even if, after reading the paper, I’m not sure that the researchers have made fake wormholes, I simply can ...

Wormholes are theoretical objects that could serve as portals between two points in space and time. Some believe they could even act as passageways to other universes. But if one did exist, what would ...

Regarding the Weekend Interview on Nov. 15 by Sohrab Ahmari (“Finding Our Place in the Stars”), in which I was interviewed: We physicists have tried to figure out what the laws of physics say about ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. There's been a bit of buzz this week about an experiment that has ...
