“There, that .. that is it ? that is the wormhole! say don't spray it! It is a sphere …. you thought it would just be a hole? No, it is just that all the illustrations I have ever seen. In the illustrations, they are trying to show you how it works. … A sphere, exactly! … But who put it there? Who do we have to thank?”

All the sentences from the Interstellar movie is a 2014 British-American epic science fiction film directed and produced by Christopher Nolan.

First of all, let’s look at what is the underlying truth of this legend. The wormhole or Einstein-Rosen bridge was proposed by Nathan Rosen and Albert Einstein. Wormholes are bridges connecting two different points in space-time — points that have a very large time difference, or very large distances between them, or even different universes.

Wormhole Theory: Wormholes consist of two mouths and a throat that connects these two mouths. Mouths are probably spherical. The throat is in the form of a linear extension, but is also cyclic and requires a longer path than a conventional route.

Although there is no observational data on the existence of wormholes, some solutions of Einstein’s field equations, which are the basis of the general theory of relativity, involve wormholes.

The first solution to Einstein’s field equations involving wormholes was found by Ludwig Flamm in 1916. These solutions are today called Einstein-Rosen bridges, as the same solution was later found independently by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.

John A. Wheeler suggested in 1962 that wormholes corresponding to the Einstein-Rosen solution would be unstable if they connected two separate regions of the same universe. He thought that even if such a wormhole was formed, it would disappear in such a short time and nothing could pass through it.

Wormholes not only connect two separate regions in the universe, but they can also connect two different universes. Similarly, some scientists; speculate that if the mouth of a wormhole is shaped to a certain shape, it could make time travel possible. However, British cosmologist Stephen Hawking thinks this is not possible. Eric Christian of NASA supports Hawking’s thinking with the following words: “Wormhole doesn’t mean going back in time, it’s just a shortcut that goes far and closer.” Science fiction movies are full of travel stories in wormholes, but this isn’t as easy as it sounds. In reality, these journeys are much more complicated and we couldn’t make it happen. We are facing a few problems.

The first problem is; size. The first wormholes were considered to exist at a microscopic level of about 10–33 centimeters. However, as the universe expands, it is quite possible that some will also expand to much larger sizes. Another problem is; stems from the recession. The predicted Einstein-Rosen wormholes may not be practical for travel as they collapse too quickly. However, more recent research has found that a wormhole contains “exotic” material that allows it to stay open without collapsing and can remain unchanged for a long time.

Exotic substance; It is defined as a phenomenon involving negative energy density and too much negative pressure. Such substances can only be seen in behavior at certain vacuum levels that are part of the quantum field theory. If a wormhole is composed of enough exotic matter — whether naturally occurring or artificially added — it could theoretically be used as a method for traveling through space or sending information.

As a result, Today’s technology; is inadequate at the point of expanding or stabilizing wormholes, but due to the technology’s momentum of development, these problems are more likely to be resolved sooner than we thought.
