How Wormhole Worked In Interstellar Movie?

In the movie "Interstellar," wormholes are depicted as tunnels through spacetime that enable faster-than-light travel between distant points in the universe. The wormhole in the film is discovered orbiting Saturn and is placed there by an advanced civilization referred to as "They." This wormhole serves as a portal to another galaxy, where potential habitable planets exist that humanity could colonize to escape a dying Earth.

Wormholes are theoretical passages through spacetime, connecting two distant points. In "Interstellar," the wormhole is visualized as a sphere rather than the traditional depiction of a tunnel. This choice aligns with the involvement of physicist Kip Thorne, who ensured scientifically plausible representations. When the spacecraft Endurance enters the wormhole, the crew experiences a distortion of space and time, portrayed through the bending and warping of their surroundings. This visual representation emphasizes the warping effects of the wormhole on spacetime.

Inside the wormhole, the movie portrays a surreal journey where the fabric of space twists and folds. The idea is that the wormhole shortcuts through a higher-dimensional space, often referred to as the "bulk," drastically reducing travel time between two distant points in our three-dimensional universe. Upon exiting the wormhole, the Endurance emerges in a different galaxy near potential habitable planets, demonstrating the theoretical possibility that wormholes could connect vastly separated regions of space almost instantaneously.

The crew observes and interacts with gravitational anomalies as the Endurance travels through the wormhole. These anomalies are crucial plot points that influence the storyline and character decisions, showcasing the unpredictable nature of such theoretical constructs.

This is the outcome of Einstein’s equations taken to the extreme limits and seems possible mathematically but hasn’t been literally observed. Great explanation!

> There is no 3D space inside a black hole. It is a geometric void. Which means there is no geometry inside.
___ So math. doesnt work.

Our knowledge of black holes is limited to our understanding of 3 dimensional space.

[funny]

Kip Thorne has an entire book about this

All black holes rotate.. So static singularities are, for now, impossible
