Claim that 'a wormhole exists but it is too late to apply to space travel'

Harvard Physicist Daniel Jafferis held an American physics meeting on April 13, 2019 in Colorado about ' Wormholes ' that could move between two points that would normally be tens of thousands of miles away. We made a presentation at the conference, April Meeting 2019. Jafferis argued that 'a wormhole exists,' but also said that it is not practical enough to be used for intergalactic movement as depicted in the science fiction.

The history of wormhole theory is long, and German mathematician and physicist Hermann Weil advocated its concept in 1928. In 1957, American physicist John Wheeler named it a 'wormhole' with a space-to-space diagram. Although the existence of wormholes has not been proven, there is also a theory that “ white holes ”, whose existence is proposed based on Einstein's general relativity , are connected by black holes and worm holes.

Wormholes often appear in the fiction world that can literally travel beyond space-time for distances that would normally take tens of thousands of years. For example, in the movie ' Contact ', the wormhole is passed by a device based on the message from aliens, and the main character arrives at Vega about 25 light years away from the earth. Also, in the anime ' Shin Getter Robo: The Last Day of the World ', a scene where a wormhole connecting the earth to Jupiter somehow opens by irradiating a getter beam to the Getto Mahawk thrown at high speed.

Jafferis's research is not for space travel, but a theory on quantum mechanics. Jafferis points out that two black holes connected at the quantum level can function as wormholes through which light can pass. This possibility means that light and information can be extracted using a black hole from a distant place.

'From the outside, passing through a wormhole is equivalent to quantum teleportation using intertwined black holes,' said Jafferis. On the other hand, because what Jafferis advocates is a wormhole through which light passes, 'it takes more time for us to go through the wormhole than going directly to the site, so space travel It is not very useful. '

Jafferis states that 'the true meaning of this research is related to the problem of black hole information and the relationship between gravity and quantum mechanics,' researching methods of constructing wormholes contributes to the development of quantum gravity theory. I preached that.
