You should do it calmly, but travel through the wormholes if possible.

The discovery was made by Daniel Jafferis, a physicist at Harvard University, in collaboration with Ping Gao, also from Harvard and Aron Wall of Stanford University.

Physicists were able to demonstrate the theory that wormholes can exist: tunnels in curved space-time, which connect two distant places and in which it is also possible to travel.

But do not start saying goodbye to anyone, it is still a theory and it does not have any use to be able to make this kind of trips for human beings.

The physicist Daniel Jafferis has said:

"It takes more time to go through these wormholes than to go directly, so they are not very useful for space travel."

"The real importance of this work is in its relation to the problem of black hole information and the connections between gravity and quantum mechanics."

He also said that the results would be officially presented at the April 2019 meeting of the American Physical Society in Denver.

Jafferis said that finding a way to build a wormhole through which light could travel was an impulse when he was trying to develop a theory of quantum gravity.



The new theory was inspired when Jafferis began to think of two black holes that were entangled in a quantum level, as formulated by the correspondence ER = EPR of Juan Maldacena of the Institute for Advanced Studies and Lenny Susskind of Stanford.

This would mean that the direct connection between the black holes is shorter than the connection of the wormhole, and therefore the trip of the wormhole would be precisely a shortcut.

"From an external perspective, traveling through the wormhole is equivalent to quantum teleportation using tangled black holes," Jafferis said.

"It gives a causal investigation of regions that would otherwise have been behind a horizon, a window to the experience of an observer within a space-time, which can be accessed from the outside."

The physicist based his theory on a configuration designed for the first time by Einstein and Rosen in 1935, which consists of a connection between two black holes.




To date, a major obstacle in the formulation of wormholes through them has been the need for negative energy, which seems to be incompatible with quantum gravity.

But, Jafferis has overcome this by using quantum field theory tools, calculating quantum effects similar to the Casimir effect.

"I think it will teach us profound things about the correspondence between caliber / gravity, quantum gravity and maybe even a new way of formulating quantum mechanics," said the physicist.
