PPT ON TOPIC WORMHOLE
INTRODUCTION ABOUT WORMHOLE
● HYPOTHETICAL TUNNEL :- A wormhole is a
theoretical connecting two separate point is
space time.
●EINSTEIN ROSEN BRIDGE :- It arises from a
solution to einstein general relativity
equation ( often called an ENIESTINE
ROSEN BRIDGE)
WHAT IS WORMHOLE?
●In physics, a wormhole is a
hypothetical topological
feature of space time that is
essentially a "shortcut"
through space and time. A
wormhole has at least two
mouths which are connected
to a single throat. If the
wormhole is traversable,
matter can 'travel' from one
● Travelling through a wormhole takes less time
then traveling between the same distance in
Normal space
●The name "wormhole" comes from the following
analogy used to explain the phenomenon: imagine
that the universe is the skin of an apple, and a
worm is travelling over its surface, then distance
from one side of the apple to the other is equal to
half of the apple's circumference. The worm has to
travel is considerably less, if it burrows a wormhole
directly through the apple, instead of staying on
the apple's surface.
HISTORY OF WORMHOLE.
• Einstein introduced his general theory of relativity,
in 1916, which still remains the standard model for
gravitation. In the year1935, Einstein and his
collaborator Nathan Rosen investigated the
possibility of obtaining an atomistic theory of
matter and electricity. They wanted to know how
general relativity would treat individual particles,
and hoped somehow it can account for quantum
phenomena. This phenomenon known as an
"Einstein-Rosen bridge".
● However, in 1962 John A. Wheeler and
Robert.W. Fuller showed that Einstein
Rosen Bridge space time structure was
highly unstable in field free space and that
it will pinch off too quickly before a single
photon could not transmitted through it.
This word lead to find different kind of
Wormhole. The possibility of traversable
wormhole in general relativity gather
space by the publication of a paper in
TYPES OF WOMHOLE
wormhole are 2 types :-
1). Traversable
2). Non-tranversable
TRAVERSABLE WORMHOLE
• A traversable wormhole is a hypothetical
types the could be safely passed through.
These were first proposed by physicists keep
Throne and Michael Morris
• Lorentzian Wormhole ( Morris Throne
Wormhole)
• This type of wormhole is specifically designed
to be stable and traversable. To achieve this
it requires the existence of a special type of
● Exotic Matter :- Normal matter has
postive energy density Causes the
wormhole to collapse. Exotic matter on
the other hand . Would exert a repulsive
gravitational force . propping the
wormholes open
● HYPOTHETICAL Nature :- The exyot
exotic matter is purely speculative While
some quantum phenomenon exhibit
NON TRANSFERABLE WORMHOLE
• A non-traversable wormhole is
one that, even if it could exist,
cannot be passed through. The
most famous example is the
Schwarzschild wormhole, also
known as the Einstein-Rosen
bridge.
• Schwarzschild Wormhole: This is the simplest
theoretical wormhole, a solution to Einstein's field
equations that connects a black hole to a white
hole. A white hole is a theoretical time-reversed
black hole that expels matter instead of absorbing
it.
• Instability: These wormholes are not stable. The
"throat" or connection would collapse faster than
light could travel through it. Any object, even a
photon, attempting to cross would be crushed at
the singularity. Therefore, they are not useful for
interstellar travel.
WORMHOLES IN SCIENCE FRICTION
Interstellar Travel: Most commonly, wormholes are
used as a means of transportation, enabling rapid
travel between distant stars or galaxies. A well-
known example is the Stargate franchise, where a
network of artificial wormholes (Stargates) is used
to connect different planets.
Plot Device vs. Scientific Concept: In some stories,
wormholes are simply a way to move the plot
forward. In others, such as Carl Sagan's novel
Contact and the film Interstellar, their scientific
Time Travel: Because wormholes
theoretically connect different points in
spacetime, they are often used for
time travel, which can lead to
paradoxes like the Grandfather
Paradox.
