Creating a Wormhole: Process & Theory

In summary: I find one. In summary, black hole is real in nature and we know what is reason of it. If energy concentrate in sphere with radius which less gravitational radius then second cosmic velocity is speed of light and create black hole. We know process which can create these. If we know it we can realize quantum black hole useful colliders or other method in the future.

TL;DR Summary
Do we know process of creating wormhole?
Black hole is real in nature and we know what is reason of it. If energy concentrate in sphere with radius which less gravitational radius then second cosmic velocity is speed of light and create black hole. We know process which can create these. If we know it we can realize quantum black hole useful colliders or other method in the future. In the past we didn't know about fact black hole is real or only theoretical object. Today we registered black hole and know that it's real object because experiment show it. We can't find wormhole too. But do we know about process which can create it like in situations with theory of black hole (black hole can realize when energy (mass) concentrate in sphere with little radius)? Or we only know that it can be real. If we know it tell me please what should I read for know theory which tell about it?

As I recall, to create a wormhole classically one would need a time machine :(. (Such as, for instance, closed time-like curves). For a reference, see the Morris-Thorne-Yurtserver paper, "Wormholes, Time machines, and the weak energy condition", https://authors.library.caltech.edu/9262/1/MORprl88.pdf. See the section on "wormhole creation".

Morris, et al, suggests that wormholes might be created by quantum methods, possibly even arising naturally from the hypothetical "quantum foam". To be useful, though, such wormholes would need to be stabilized. This requires "exotic matter", matter that violates the weak energy condition. The above paper talks about this in more depth.

Kip Thorne, one of the co-authors of the above paper, talks a bit about this very briefly, in more popular and less technical language, in his book, "Black holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy". The book is not bad for a popularization, though at PF the moderators recommend posting references to peer-reviewed papers.

Thank you for answer. I'll think about it
 

FAQ: Creating a Wormhole: Process & Theory

What is a wormhole?

A wormhole is a theoretical passage through space-time that connects two distant points in the universe. It is often depicted as a tunnel or shortcut through the fabric of space, allowing for faster-than-light travel.

How can a wormhole be created?

Currently, there is no known method for creating a wormhole. However, some theories suggest that it may be possible by manipulating the fabric of space-time using large amounts of energy, exotic matter, or other advanced technologies.

What is the process of creating a wormhole?

The process of creating a wormhole is still largely unknown and purely theoretical. Some proposed methods include using massive rotating black holes, creating negative energy fields, or utilizing advanced spacecraft propulsion systems.

Is it possible for humans to travel through a wormhole?

At this time, it is not possible for humans to travel through a wormhole. The extreme conditions and energy requirements make it currently impossible for our technology to achieve. However, it is a popular topic in science fiction and continues to be a subject of research and speculation among scientists.

What are the potential implications of creating a wormhole?

If a wormhole could be created and utilized for travel, it would have significant implications for space exploration and potentially revolutionize our understanding of the universe. It could also have ethical and safety concerns, as well as potential consequences on the fabric of space-time and the laws of physics.
