BREAKING: Cambridge Physicists Find Wormhole Proof


University of Cambridge physicists have developed a theoretical foundation for the existence of wormholes, which are pipelines that connect two dissimilar places in space-time. Time travel and instant communication across great distances may become possible if a piece of data or a physical object could pass through the wormhole.

"But there's a problem: Einstein's wormholes are extremely unsteady, and they don't stay open long enough for something to pass over."


 In 1988, physicists reached the deduction that a type of negative energy called Casimir energy might keep wormholes open.


The hypothetical solution established at Cambridge has to do with the properties of quantum energy, which conveys that even vacuums are teaming by means of waves of energy.


“Does this mean we have the technology for building a wormhole?” asks Matt Visser at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. “The answer is still no.” Still, he is intrigued by Butcher’s work. “From a physics perspective, it may revitalise interest in wormholes.”


If you visualize two metal plates in a vacuum, some waves of energy would be excessively big enough to fit between the plates, meaning that the space-time among the plates would have negative energy. 


"Under the right circumstances, could the tube-like shape of the wormhole itself generate Casimir energy? Calculations show that if the wormhole's throat is orders of magnitude longer then the width of its mouth, it does indeed create Casimir energy at its center."

BREAKING: Astrophysicist have spotted "Worm-Holes" Created by Something unknown

It’s possible that an extremely advanced alien civilization has created a transportation network of wormholes around the universe — and we might even be able to spot them.


While it’s certainly a far fetched theory, according to a new piece by BBC Science Focus, it has some scientists intrigued. Take Nagoya University astrophysicist Fumio Abe, who told the publication that we may have even already captured evidence of such a network in existing observations — but lost them in the sea of data, leading to the intriguing prospect that reanalyzing old observations could lead to a breakthrough in SETI.


“If the wormholes have throat radii between 100 and ten million kilometers, are bound to our Galaxy, and are as common as ordinary stars, detection might be achieved by reanalyzing past data,” Abe told Science Focus.


It’s an alluring theory, in other words, that suggests one more pathway to figure out once and for all whether humans are alone in the universe.


In simple terms, wormholes are theoretical tunnels with two ends at separate points in time and space. While they don’t violate Einstein’s general theory of relativity, we still have no idea if they could actually exist, let alone if a sufficiently advanced civilization would be capable of producing them


For a wormhole to exist, though, it would take astronomical amounts of energy.


“Intrinsically unstable, a wormhole would need ‘stuff’ with repulsive gravity to hold open each mouth, and the energy equivalent to that emitted by an appreciable fraction of the stars in a galaxy,” reads Science Focus‘ story. The idea would be that “if ETs have created a network of wormholes, it might be detectable by gravitational microlensing.”


That technique has been used in the past to detect thousands of distant exoplanets and stars by detecting how they bend light. Whether it could be used to detect wormholes, to be clear, is an open question.


Fortunately, spotting wormholes isn’t our only shot at detecting life elsewhere in the universe. Science Focus also pointed to the search for theoretical megastructures that harness the energy of a star by fully enclosing it, or atmospheric chemicals linked to human pollution, or extremely thin reflective spacecraft called light sails, any of which could theoretically lead us to discover an extraterrestrial civilization.


The concept of wormholes is a tantalizing prospect, especially considering the fact that they could give an alien civilization — or even us — the ability to travel over vast stretches of space and time.


But for now, unfortunately, they’re not much more than a fun thought experiment.

Objects We Thought Were Black Holes May Actually Be Wormholes, Scientists Say

According to New Scientist, a team of physicists from Sofia University in Bulgaria believes that wormholes, which are hypothetical tunnels connecting one part of the universe to another, may be hiding in plain sight — in the form of black holes.

Scientists have long been perplexed by black holes, which gobble up matter and never let it escape.

But where does all of this matter go? Physicists have long toyed with the idea that these black holes could be leading to "white holes," or wells that spew out streams of particles and radiation.

These two ends could together form a wormhole, or an Einstein-Rosen bridge to be specific, which some physicists believe could stretch any amount of time and space, a tantalizing theory that could rewrite the laws of spacetime as we understand them today.

Now, the researchers suggest that the "throat" of a wormhole could look very similar to previously discovered black holes, like the monster Sagittarius A* which is believed to be lurking at the center of our galaxy.

"Ten years ago, wormholes were completely in the area of science fiction," team lead Petya Nedkova at Sofia University told New Scientist. "Now, they are coming forward to the frontiers of science and people are actively searching."

The team's newly developed computer model, as detailed in a new paper published in the journal Physical Review D, suggests the radiation emanating from the discs of matter swirling around the edges of wormholes may be near impossible to distinguish from those surrounding a black hole.

In fact, the difference in the amount of light polarization emitted by a black hole and a wormhole, at least according to their model, would be less than four percent.

"With the current observations, you cannot distinguish a black hole or a wormhole — there may be a wormhole there, but we cannot tell the difference," Nedkova told New Scientist. "So we were looking for something else up there in the sky that could be a way to distinguish black holes from wormholes."

While Nedkova and her colleagues suggest there may be ways to distinguish between them with observations in the future. For instance, we could look for light that may be spilling in from the other end of the wormhole and emanating out of the black hole in the shape of small rings of light.

But for now, we simply don't have the technology to make those kinds of direct observations of black holes.

The only way to really tell for sure would be to scan these celestial oddities with an even higher-resolution telescope.

The other option, of course, would be to risk it all by flinging yourself into a black hole.

"If you were nearby, you would find out too late," Nedkova told the publication. "You’ll get to know the difference when you either die or you pass through."

What is a Nebula?-Formation and Info


Before the man started fireworks in the night sky on Independence Day or at New Year; our universe had shown many fireworks of its own and no doubt they were more powerful than we can even think of.  In 1054 there was a huge explosion and it sure was the violent death of a star and the star was 10 times more massive than our sun. It was the outstanding eruption of a supernova. Chinese astronomers for the first time in history saw and recorded the star's death. The remains of this exploded star were later named as the Crab Nebula. The Crab Nebula is cloudy, glowing mass of gas and dust and it is about 7000 light years away from us. There was a star so bright that people saw it in the sky during the day for almost a month. The Chinese called it “the Guest Star”. Astronomers have viewed only two equal disasters in our Galaxy: the supernova explosions of 1572 and 1604.


A nebula is actually a bunch of molecules and atoms, floating in space like a dust cloud. More than one nebula are called nebulae. Nebula means cloud in Latin. The first Nebula formed after the Big Bang was 15 billion years ago. All forms of installer matter in the Milky Way Galaxy are Nebulae so far observed. Nebulae are mostly composed of hydrogen and other constituents are helium, oxygen, carbon, neon, and nitrogen.

On the basis of looks of nebulae, they are divided into two clear categories; Dark Nebulae and Bright Nebulae. Dark nebulae seem as on an irregular basis formed black patches in the sky and blot out the light of the stars that lie on the far side them. On the other hand, bright nebulae are very luminous and their brightness is mostly because they not just only emit their own light but also reflect light of nearby stars. Dark Nebula is a type of installer cloud and so dense that it obscures the light of background stars. The reason behind these phenomena’s is its internal dust grains and act like an opaque object.

Bright nebulae are also interstellar clouds of dust and gas where stars mostly are born and have died. Their rich colors and complex shapes made them interesting field for many amateur astronomers. Bright nebulae are also known as diffuse or Galactic nebulae. Planetary nebulae are common. A planetary nebula is kind of emission nebula and consists of a very shiny and glowing shell. This glowing shell of a planetary nebula made of ionized gas usually ejected by red old giants. At the end of the star’s life mostly at red giants phase; the outer layers of the star are ejected through strong stellar winds. The exposed hot, glowing core produces ultraviolet radiation that ionizes the ejected outer layers of the star and it appears as a Planetary Nebula.
