What is wormhole?
A bridge between black hole and white hole A shortcut through spacetime The fourth dimension No evidences to prove its existence
What is 4th dimension?

What is wormhole?
Two different wormhole 1. Schwarzschild wormholes
○ also called ‘Einstein-Rosen Bridge’ ○ Inter-universe wormhole connecting two universes
2. Traversable wormholes
○ not traversable due to unstable property
○ Intra-universe wormhole connecting two locations in
a universe ○ May involve the possibility of ‘Time Travelling’ ○ Only be possible if exotic matter with ‘negative energy density’ could be used to stabilize them
How it was found?
First spoken by Ludwig Flamm He studied Einstein notation(introduced in 1916) and found out that there are 2 solutions in Einstein’s equation.(i.e. Black hole and white hole)
Function of Wormhole
Wormhole may not really exist Functions are guessed by scientists
Function of Wormhole
Shortcut in the space for travelling
Function of Wormhole
Some criteria must be fulfilled
2.The connection must be stable
1.There are two sides wormhole connection 3.The travel time must be short, at least shorter
than the human life
Function of Wormhole
Long Distance Travel

Method to stabilize wormhole
Negative Mass
Neutralize the strong gravitation of
wormhole Enlarge the size of wormhole so that a spaceship can pass through
Time Travelling
Another function of wormhole is transfer to another universe may be the future, or the past, or another world
How do scientists think about time travelling?
Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking did not agree future. Nothing can run faster than light.
We cannot see travelers from the
What will happen if time travelling exists?
Spacetime will be changed Contradiction exists
Conclusion
