Parallel Universes via Wormholes
Ever thought about how big is our universe?
Best estimates of astronomers indicate 100 billion galaxies;
Andromeda galaxy is closest one to ours and is 2.5 million light years away.
One light year is how much light can travel in vacuum within
365.25 days (1 Julian year)
Which is, distance
=speed x time
Distance
= (3x108(m/s)) x (365.25x24x60x60(s))
Distance
=946728x107kms or 9.467e+12kms =1 light year
You can imagine how gigantic our
universe is!
Scientists have a theory that we
are living in a multiverse, as per this theory ours is not the only universe,
rather many universes exist parallel to each other and these are called
parallel universes. They are anticipated to be similar but not same (with very
few changes).
We agreed on our universe being
enormous (taken into infinity), added to it are infinite parallel universes. Too
Hard to picture!
Wormhole: it is a hypothetical concept
(no proves found yet) and is like a tunnel through the space time or like a
short-cut.
White hole: It releases matter
outward unlike black hole that sucks it in. Black hole ends at a singularity
and white hole is born from singularity.
Entering a wormhole can be familiar
to black hole (black hole + white hole could make up worm hole) and exiting it
leads to 2 set of predictions
A) Exiting in the same universe you entered but
at a completely different space-time as shown in down imagine. So if there is a
wormhole between our galaxy and Andromeda galaxy, and it is stable enough for
interdimensional travel. I will be able to reach Andromeda galaxy within few
minutes or hours(definitely less than 2.5 million light years) And therefore I even
travel in time, that is travel to future (my friends on earth and I will experience
time dilation due to me passing through wormhole which is warping of space-time)
B) Exiting
into a parallel universe as shown in first image. As in case of Alice in wonderland.
Our
universe started off with a ‘Big Bang’ and is expected to end in a ‘Big freeze’.
Few scientists hope that this can be avoided by hopping into a parallel universe.
The bridge of wormhole connecting
two places is called Einstein-Rosen Bridge. Einstein believed that any
communication through the bridge would be impossible, but recent studies show
it hard but perhaps probable.
Amount of matter-energy needed to
create wormhole is immensely large and it would still be highly unstable and
disappear in wink of an eye, making it impossible to use it as an
interdimensional travel.
So if you are bored of this
universe, you may be lucky enough to travel through universes for some
adventure in a future, if you live long enough by that i mean few centuries and when these theories turn into laws.
