The Conversation: Wormholes may be lurking in the universe – and new studies are proposing ways of finding them 14 Jan, 2021 12:43 AM 6 minutes to read Could we travel to other universes using wormholes? Photo / 123rf Other By: Andreea Font Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity profoundly changed our thinking about fundamental concepts in physics, such as space and time. But it also left us with some deep mysteries. One was black holes, which were only unequivocally detected over the past few years. Another was "wormholes" – bridges connecting different points in space-time, in theory providing shortcuts for space travellers. Wormholes are still in the realm of the imagination. But some scientists think we will soon be able to find them, too. Over the past few months, several new studies have suggested intriguing ways forward.
