PARIS: Scientists believe a black hole at the centre of our galaxy could allow human beings to speed through space and time. Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi flick “Interstellar” might get some free promotion from a new scientific study suggesting that wormholes space portals into other dimensions could actually be a part of our galaxy.
A paper published in the journal Annals of Physics suggests that dark matter in the center of the Milky Way might be a wormhole that humans can enter and travel to…who knows where (or when).
This theory of awesomeness provides several formulas to argue it’s mathematically possible for there to be a wormhole waiting for us in the Milky Way.
This portal could be as big as the galaxy itself, and if it exists, we are able to navigate it, the study says.
“Our result is very important because it confirms the possible existence of wormholes in most of the spiral galaxies,” the researchers write in their conclusion.
They add they hope the study will push this portal talk beyond math and “encourage scientists to seek observational evidence for wormholes.”
One of the authors, Paolo Salucci, told Yahoo! News Canada the paper doesn’t definitively prove a Milky Way wormhole, but shows there’s theoretically potential for one to exist. This study builds on a previous one from the same team suggesting there was a massive black hole in our galaxy. Now they think that black hole is a wormhole.
Albert Einstein proposed the existence of wormholes in his theory of General Relativity. Since then, they’ve been a traditional trope of time travel tales like last year’s space-bound blockbuster “Interstellar.”
But there’s still been little scientific research showing such a thing exists.
