Microscopic wormholes may be driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, scientists say. These tiny wormholes are constantly being born from the vacuum of space due to subtle quantum effects.

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 ...

Wormholes, theoretical passages through space-time, have captivated scientists and science fiction enthusiasts alike for decades. With the potential to connect distant regions of the universe, ...

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 ...

In some ways, a wormhole might look like a black hole. And the wormhole would look like a sphere, not a hole. Einstein's theory of general relativity allows for the possibility of wormholes, but there ...

Researchers suggest that tiny wormholes could be punching microscopic holes through the fabric of space-time, Live Science reports, thereby driving the accelerating expansion of the universe. For ...

The universe isn’t just growing—it’s speeding up as it does. That discovery stunned scientists, upending long-held ideas about gravity and motion in space. This rapid expansion wasn’t predicted by ...

Imagine two towns on two opposite sides of a mountain. People from these towns would probably have to travel all the way around the mountain to visit one another. But, if they wanted to get there ...

The wormhole concept is explained in the fifth season of Stranger Things when science teacher Scott Clarke — played by Randy Havens –– tries to get his class interested in it. "What's neat about ...

Wormholes are one of science fiction’s favourite cheats. Need characters to cross impossible distances? Skip years of travel? Break reality without saying “magic”? Introduce a wormhole.By Season 5 of ...
