How can I build a wormhole?
402106
Enstien modeled the space-time as a fabric that can stretch and squeeze when an object is laid on it. The heavier the object, the more it curves the space-time fabric. As the object’s mass tends to infinity (black-hole), the curvature will tend to a hole (wormhole).\n\nAnti-gravity, aka exotic energy (negative energy), has an opposite effect to the space-time fabric. So if you happen to discover how to make this negative energy, you would be able to open up a wormhole and keep it open. Theoretically that is!\n\nIf you fancy to read the mathematics of this theory, I suggest you do the General Relativity graduate course… I must warn it has serious hardcore mathematics. Here’s a link:\n\nhttp://people.hofstra.edu/faculty/Stefan_Waner/diff_geom/tc.html

Wormholes can probably exist and are around us all the time.  The only problem is that they are very, very, very small.  They exist only on a quantum level, and could theoretically be seen if you could look a things on a quantum level.  If you could look look at things on this level then you would observe what is called "quantum foam".  It is in this that you would see wormholes.  One problem though, is that these wormholes, once they appear, would close up and disappear again very quickly.  \n\nAgain, theoretically, you could hold one of these open, IF you had a strong and dense enough material.  But this material would have to be more dense than anything that anyone knows about.\n\nJust as a side note - blackholes cannot be wormholes.  Blackholes are a different phenomena to wormholes.  A wormhole is a traversable bridge between two areas of space.  A blackhole is a supermassive star that has collapsed back in on itself, creating so much gravity that not even light can escape.  Plus, the singularity of the blackhole is protected by an "event-horizon", which if anything fell it will be lost forever.

The answer involves a wormhole in the space time continuum and a secrete plot by sock manufactures.  I could explain it better, but I'd need an overhead projector and a white board.  :P

I think you pose a very insightful and valid question. I've wondered this same thing myself and dreamed about the day we can created a structure like the one you describe.\n\nHowever, to create a rotating torus large enough to mimic earth's gravity would be unfeasable with the enormous cost right now to build in space. Plus, the way the space station is built puts almost no stress on the station. If the station were rotating it would have to constantly withstand the forces of "gravity".

you're thinking of a worm hole. a black hole will, as far as we know tear things apart to as it takes them to a different part of our universe, which doesnt make sense because nothing can escape from them. Anyway, a worm hole, which is theoretical -mostly- is like two black holes connected at their vertex's. think of the universe as a thin sheet of paper. one black hole is is on the right side, and another on the left. fold the piece of paper so that the black holes are lines up. instead of traveling from point A to point B, you just go through space in manner of speaking from point A to point B "just like that". there really isnt any just like that, but that's as best i can describe it with out actually showing you. sorry if this makes no sense.

Aliens travel through wormholes, meaning they don't fly long distances to get to earth. \n\n"Intra-universe wormholes connect one location of a universe to another location of the same universe(in the same present time). A wormhole should be able to connect distant locations in the universe by bending spacetime, allowing travel between them that is faster than it would take light to make the journey through normal space. See the image above. Inter-universe wormholes connect one universe with another [1], [2]. This gives rise to the speculation that such wormholes could be used to travel from one parallel universe to another. A wormhole which connects (usually closed) universes is often called a Schwarzschild wormhole. Another application of a wormhole might be time travel. In that case it is a shortcut from one point in space and time to another. In string theory a wormhole has been envisioned to connect two D-branes, where the mouths are attached to the branes and are connected by a flux tube [3]. Finally, wormholes are believed to be a part of spacetime foam [4]. There are two main types of wormholes: Lorentzian wormholes and Euclidean wormholes. Lorentzian wormholes are mainly studied in semiclassical gravity and Euclidean wormholes are studied in particle physics. Traversable wormholes are a special kind of Lorentzian wormholes which would allow a human to travel from one side of the wormhole to the other. Sergey Krasnikov tossed the term spacetime shortcut as a more general term for (traversable) wormholes and propulsion systems like the Alcubierre drive and the Krasnikov tube to indicate hyperfast interstellar travel."

Communicators?  We already have walkie-talkies.\n\nPhasers?  Don't know what exactly those are.\n\nSpeech recognition?  Already have some rudimentary stuff.  Don't know how well they work though.\n\nTransporter?  I wish.  No one would ever have to waste time commuting to work.\n\nWarp drive and faster than light travel?  Theoretically possible, but perhaps a practical impossibility.  With a huge energy source (gravity of a black hole?) you could distort space-time such that relativity no longer applies (the warp drive "warps" space-time).  Could a matter-antimatter reactor do it?  I don't know.\n\nArtificial gravity?  Don't know.  Doubt it, other than little centrifugal force tricks (rotating space station).  Manipulating gravity for the warp drive would be hard enough.  Trying to somehow localize its influence to floor plating on a space ship is probably asking too much.\n\nInertial dampeners?  Nothing really fancy about this in theory.  Just need little thrusters that respond super-quickly to undesired accelerations.  There might be other tricks you could try if you've already got that warp drive.\n\nMeeting women from different planets?  I'm not convinced I haven't already.

Yes, there's still research going on. And yes, the theory still holds that if we could find a wormhole and create enough anti-matter to widen and stabilise it, and then find a way of surving the journey, time travel might be possible.\n\nBottom line, everything that's a theory today will either be proved or disproved somewhere down the line. Some things, like wormhole time travel and single-lifetime interstellar travel are the scientific equivalent of steeplechases - races with big old obstacles in the way. They might seem impossible at the start, but once you start running, you either have to figure out how to leap over the obstacles or fall down at them. But human beings are good at steeplechasing - look at the challenges we overcame between 1899 and 1970 - we couldn't fly when the century began. By the time we were seventy years in, not only had we fought two world wars in the air, we'd successfully landed on the moon. Who knows what we'll achieve by 2070...

You have just provided irrevocable proof that wormholes cannot exist which lead back to the same universe.\n\nThanks, thats my entire carreer in theoretical physics out the windows.\n\nYou B*stard!

Yes, through wormhole and warp drive. A wormhole should be able to connect distant locations in the universe by bending spacetime, allowing travel between them that is faster than it would take light to make the journey through normal space. \n\nA warp drive would be a mechanism for warping space-time in such a way that an object could move faster than light.\n\nIf you would like to learn more about wormhole, follow this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

Fill a long tube with solids and try to blow air through it.\nPut a flabby piece of rubber at the end.\nYou will get all your answers then.

2 holes will have to be connected in the fabric to create a wormhole, but the only thing known that is able to rip the fabric is a black hole. You would need an extremely dense object to do this

Check out Stephen Hawking's site.  It contains theories and lectures.  If anyone's an expert on workholes, it's him.\n\nThis second site looks pretty good.\n\nA candidate for breakthrough propulsion physics has been identified in the form of a traversable wormhole created by virtue of ultrahigh magnetic or electric fields with an additional exotic energy component. Maccone (1995) claimed that cylindrically symmetric ultrahigh magnetic (electric) fields can create a traversable wormhole in the Morris and Thorne (1988) framework. It has been shown that this is incorrect. Instead, a hypercylinder curvature effect having a position dependent gravitational potential is induced. This effect can be used to create a wormhole by patching the hypercylinder envelope to a throat that is induced by either radially stressing the ultrahigh field or employing additional exotic energy. Maccone correctly showed that the speed of light through the hypercylinder region is slowed by the magnetic induced gravitational field there. This suggests a way to perform laboratory experiments whereby one could apply an ultrahigh magnetic field in a vacuum, thereby creating a hypercylinder curvature effect, and measure the speed of a light beam through it. While chemical explosive/implosive magnetic induction technology has achieved static field strengths of ~ several x 103 Tesla, the peak rate-of-rise of field is ~ 109 Tesla/sec. Field strengths > 109 - 1010 Tesla would need to be generated to impart a measurable slowing of light speed in this scenario. It is proposed that the peak rate-of-rise of field be exploited as a means to achieve this goal in the near-term. Magnetic induction technologies based on nuclear explosives/implosives may need to be considered in order to achieve results of larger magnitude. A Wormhole Induction Propulsion system has been introduced to exploit the possibilities of traversable wormholes.

Stargate?  I own all those shows on DVD, so let's first define the technology that these "Stargates" are supposed to be using...\n\nThese things are supposed to be constructed out of a super conductor that allows energy to be accelerated up to and beyond the speed of light - Whereby a Gavity-less wormhole is errected between two points...\nThis is supported by Fringe (shaky) theory...\n\nHowever as stated by others, this type of "Worm Hole" would not pass solid objects since the connection between these two points about effectively be a line with only one dimension.  As such it would only pass sub-atomic particles...\n\nNow in later seasons of "Stargate", they have included the idea that the "Stargate" is also a super-computer of sorts and the event horizon of the gate is actually a dematerialization plane...  Or, to keep with the parallels...  The "stargate" works much like the "Transporter" in "Star Trek", as it dematerialism matter and sends it as an energy stream to be rematerialized at another point...\nThis is also very fringe science, but that's what the best science fiction is based off of...\n\nSo these "Stargates" create Targeted Hyper Accelerated Energy Worm-holes through which a transporter beam is sent carrying the energy of the matter that was dematerialized as a carrier wave for the data needed to rebuild the matter on the other side...\n\nYes...  In the fringes of very questionable scientific theory, this could work...\n\nNo...  We are no where close to developing the begin of a technological line that could ever even evolve into something like this...\n\nAs such...  It's good fiction, despite the mistakes made in various episodes...  But it's only ever going to be fiction, or at least for the next several thousand years of technolgical advancement...  But then, that's who the gate builders were supposed to be - Isn't it.  8-)

No.  You'd need to have a wormhole.  Current theory predicts that transversable wormholes exist but would not allow time travel.  See reference for details.
