Wormholes
SCIENTISTS are claiming to have created the first-ever "wormhole" - boosting hopes a portal that can transport matter light years across space could one day become reality. A wormhole is a …
Typically, one imagines a black hole as sort of a gigantic cosmic pit that sucks in everything around it. But physicists say a new kind of space structure is possible that allows some information to …
Brian Greene, professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University and co-founder of the World Science Festival, explains what we know about time travel so far. Following is a transcript of th…
Wormholes have long been considered to exist only in the realms of science fiction, but some physicists believe the theoretical portals could be real, and there could be one relatively close by. Worm…

Einstein's theory of special relativity establishes the cosmic speed limit, which is the speed of light. However, some things in our universe don't really follow this rule to the letter, as l…
Wormholes are fascinating (but theoretical) cosmological objects that can connect two distant regions of the universe. They would allow one to create “shortcuts” through space in order to travel vast…
Our very own Milky Way could host a huge bridge in space-time. At least, that’s what the authors of a recent study have suggested. According to the group, teamwork between Indian, Italian, and North…
In 1985, when Carl Sagan was writing the novel Contact , he needed to quickly transport his protagonist Dr. Ellie Arroway from Earth to the star Vega. He had her enter a black hole and exit light-ye…
