In theory, the Milky Way could be a 'galactic transport system' (it could be a huge wormhole!)

Based on the latest evidence and theories our galaxy could be a huge wormhole (or space-time tunnel, have you seen the movie "Interstellar?") and, if that were true, it would be "stable and navigable." This is the hypothesis put forward in a study published in Annals of Physics and conducted with the participation of SISSA in Trieste. The paper, the result of a collaboration between Indian, Italian and North American researchers, prompts scientists to re-think dark matter.

"If we combine the map of the dark matter in the Milky Way with the most recent Big Bang model to explain the universe and we hypothesize the existence of space-time tunnels, what we get is that our galaxy could really contain one of these tunnels, and that the tunnel could even be the size of the galaxy itself. But there's more," explains Paolo Salucci, astrophysicist of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) of Trieste and a dark matter expert. "We could even travel through this tunnel, since, based on our calculations, it could be navigable. Just like the one we've all seen in the recent film 'Interstellar'." Salucci is among the authors of the paper recently published in Annals of Physics.

Although space-time tunnels (or wormholes or Einstein-Penrose bridges) have only recently gained great popularity among the public thanks to Christopher Nolan's sci-fi film, they have been the focus of astrophysicists' attention for many years. "What we tried to do in our study was to solve the very equation that the astrophysicist 'Murph' was working on. Clearly we did it long before the film came out" jokes Salucci. "It is, in fact, an extremely interesting problem...<...snip...>"

"Obviously we're not claiming that our galaxy is definitely a wormhole, but simply that, according to theoretical models, this hypothesis is a possibility."

Who knows ... it will be a good long while before we get out there to see directly for ourselves ... :-) ...

Can’t believe they’re still around, albeit in a different form. Me and some Army buddies went to one of their concerts in Frankfurt (iirc) back in 1969.

These mass relays were originally created by the Protheans.

"stable and navigable."

Navigable if you can survive the intense radiation at the galactic core.

The radiation levels near the galactic core due to the density of star population would make surviving the journey impossible.

[samtheman]

Where does it say the wormhole is at the core? It implies the entire galaxy “is a wormhole”. So where is the evidence that a single object in the galaxy disappeared or appeared through this wormhole? This whole idea sounds like an attempt to come up with something new, for the sake of making a name for themselves.

Most “science” is now funded by government grants.

So you have “scientists” and college professors(”scientists”) begging the government for research grants . And the idiots at the government give them huge grants $200,000, or $400,000 or $1,000,000 grants to “study” global warming or the latest crazy bs theory like this one here.

global warming is a huge hoax funded by decades of such government grants.

And they can't even predict if it will rain tomorrow even with all the real advances in computers given to them by private businesses like Intel and super computer firms

[Democrat_media]

Yes , I agree.

[Nabber]

In theory, monkeys could fly out of my butt....

[ReganDude]

Most “science” is funded by private enterprises: 62% in the form of R&D. Of that remaining $140B supplied by the Feds, 9/10ths of it goes to defense. Only 10.4% of federal dollars goes to health, etc.

1. the NSF is just 1 government agency. It gives out $7 billion per year in government grants (our tax dollars).
here is just one such grant:

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/57m-nsf-grant-card-games-videos-teach-public-about-global-warming

A multi-million dollar project funded by the National Science Foundation is developing card games, videos and other educational programs “to engage adult learners and inform public understanding and response to climate change.”

http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/09/13/nsf-funding/
As another college year begins, tens of thousands of academics will once again be scrambling to submit proposals to the National Science Foundation, hoping to secure government funding for their research. Each year, the National Science Foundation (NSF) bestows more than $7 billion worth of federal funding on about 12,000 research proposals, chosen out of about 45,000 submissions.

2, our taxes fund the UN and all their bogus global warming research billions more stolen from us there . diito for NASA and thier global warming research

These are just a few examples. and i know a proffessors just got a $400,000 grant from the NSF . pretty good scam to write some stupid report and get $400,000 for it. fake science
