Still, I like this guy!
Dark matter might not exist either
Montgomery Scott
Why does he refer to Einstein as “Billy Bob Albert Einstein”?
Aw crap, now I gotta apologize to the guys in the bar.......
“Mathematically, a wormhole is perfectly allowed by the rules of general relativity”
Sorry. The rules of general relativity don’t allow anything. The rules (equations) DESCRIBE reality. Reality doesn’t derive its validity from the rules.
If you can draw a false conclusion from the equations, the equations are wrong.
There are no wormholes, time warps, alternate universes, multiverses and other fun things found in science fiction writings.
Thanks for posting..... fascinating. Marking this so I remember to read more of this guy’s blog.
A very off-brand theory is that gravity, as a force, does not exist, but is instead a “virtual” construct of mass in space-time.
Start with the concept that space and time are two facets of the same thing, which is an accepted axiom in physics. So if you change one facet, it also changes the other. Likewise, mass and gravity are thought of as two facets of the same thing.
This fits very well into the Einstein’s two-dimension grid of space we have all seen, with mass forming indentations in the grid of space-time. (Though granted that in reality the grid is three-dimensional, which is harder to imagine.)
But ironically, if mass can distort space-time in this manner, gravity, as a separate force, isn’t needed. The warping of space-time itself *behaves* just like gravity to any objects with mass in that area of space-time.
This idea appears to fit the idea of relativity nicely, yet embraces the notion that there is no “gravity particle”.
Well, there’s another big hope down the crapper. I thought that if there were big wormholes, then there must be big worms. And if there are big worms, then there must be big fish. I was looking forward to being in the record books for catching a galaxy-sized trout.
Cruel universe.
Until we send an actual probe into a black hole or
“worm hole” if you will, all this is speculation,
which will no doubt change many times between now
and then.
Contact.... Interstellar... please.
Galaxy Quest is the definitive worm hole movie.
