Essay / Wormhole is the best bet for Time Machine - 1748
Time travel, is it possible? For now no, but wormholes could make it a reality. Wormholes are a very unknown part of the universe. They were theorized to be used for time travel, based on Einstein's theory of relativity, which states that all mass curves spacetime. If they were found to be used for time travel, they could reduce the time it takes to travel to another universe and would create great scientific advancements. Additionally, wormholes are the key to more advanced space travel and perhaps even time travel. But before that happens, the scientific community must study the anatomy and functions of these unique areas of space. The Grandfather Paradox, the gravity of wormholes, and whether wormholes are just a shortcut are just a few theories that will help determine if wormholes are the hidden piece of time travel . Einstein's theory of relativity is the one scientists use as a guide. to the universe, and it is the theory that made possible the existence of wormholes or Einstein-Rosen bridges. In the theory it is said that each mass bends spacetime, which is the part of the theory that applies the most and allows wormholes to exist and be functional, perhaps even for time travel. Some may wonder if wormholes are just science fiction, or real things in space. Well the answer is unknown, all we know is that wormholes can exist according to the theory of relativity which is the most well known model found for our universe. Although they may exist, scientists do not know how they would be made and there is no evidence of their existence. Although wormholes are still a theory, many scientists have worked on them, including: Stephen Hawking and Ki...... middle of paper ......shing Company Ltd.3.
