Astronomers might detect black holes falling into wormholes via ripples in space and time known as gravitational waves, if wormholes exist and such a scenario ever happened, a new study finds.

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

The new model could explain how wormhole-like structures in black holes allow information to escape back into the Universe, potentially solving a long-standing paradox. U.S. World; ...

In theory, however, a black hole may be paired with a mirror twin, called a white hole, to form a wormhole. Still, these theoretical wormholes would look nothing like the ones depicted in science ...

Some scientists believe black holes aren’t all the same—and that some are really wormholes.To find out, we’ll need a way to tell the difference with certainty.

In the paper, the researchers argue that wormholes, like black holes, would be massive enough to magnify distant objects behind them. "The magnification via the distortion by a wormhole can be ...

A seemingly intractable black hole paradox first proposed by physicist Stephen Hawking could finally be resolved — by wormholes through space-time.

But according to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the channel between the black holes created by entanglement is equivalent, in a description based on general relativity, to a wormhole in space-time that ...

The quantum-teleportation format precludes using these traversable wormholes as time machines. Anything that goes through the wormhole has to wait for Alice’s message to travel to Bob in the outside ...

That is, unless a theoretical wormhole—a portal in spacetime between two black holes—were to save you. But according to physicists’ calculations, most wormholes immediately collapse.

Here’s one concept for the look of a black hole. Image: Ute Kraus, [CC BY-SA 2.5] via Wikimedia Commons Black holes may have gotten a bad rap. And wormholes just might be a realistic way to ...

A black hole spiraling into a wormhole would create an odd pattern of ripples in spacetime that the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave observatories might be able to pick up, physicists report July ...
