In Focus: Teleportation & Wormholes

You may think that teleportation is a matter of inventing a machine that does something, and it puts you in the place you wish to be. But it is not! The closest thing to teleportation is wormholes. Although there are three types, and not all of them are best on teleportation, in this article, I am going to focus on only the ones that are possible to teleport through. A wormhole (based on Einstein's Theory) is the plane of spacetime, which is patched together in a way that both ends are connected and you can walk or fly through them (look at the image). But it is not all that easy. Although wormholes can be opened, something artificial has to hold them open, as they want to close because of gravity. In the natural case, it is (based on String Theory) cosmic strings that hold the wormholes open and available.


Einstein's Wormholes


Based on Einstein, wormholes cannot be traveled through as they are black holes connected to white holes, which lie in a parallel universe. This means when you enter a black hole and get spaghettified, you also have a chance to get spat out of the white hole and go to a universe opposite of ours, where time runs backwards. But in reality, you will never do so, as you will never exit the black hole in the first place, as it would take an infinite amount of time to do so, and usually such black holes just close shut due to gravity. For more info, watch the video streamed until the 14th of April (and might get re-streamed later). And this theory is generally a false interpretation of Einstein's theory of relativity and Einstein Rosen Bridges.
