It’s a baby step for the scientists, but a quantum leap for humanity!
According to experts, physicists have established a “theoretical” wormhole and sent a message through it without altering space and time, clearing the path for future teleportation studies.
According to a paper published in Nature on Wednesday, scientists at the California Institute of Technology produced two miniature black holes in a quantum computer, mimicking a tunnel connecting remote regions of the cosmos.
Maria Spiropulu, a physicist at Caltech and co-author of the article, stated that the “holographic” tunnel had the properties of a “baby wormhole” and that scientists will hopefully move on to “adult wormholes and toddler wormholes, step by step.”
Even though researchers did not create a physical wormhole, physicists lauded the discovery as a technical triumph.
Joseph Lykken, co-author of the study, remarked, “These beliefs have been around for a long time, and they’re really potent.” “But ultimately, we’re in experimental science, and we’ve struggled for a very long time to find a mechanism to test these theories in the laboratory. And that is what makes this so thrilling.”
Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen, both physicists, created the wormhole theory.
However, according to the experts, scientists are not yet capable of teleporting a living being through a time-travel portal.
“Experimentally, I can say that it is extremely, extremely distant. People approach me and ask, “Can you put your dog through the wormhole?” Therefore, no,” Spiropulu stated during a video project briefing.
For the purpose of the investigation, scientists constructed the computer-generated cosmic tunnel on a Google device known as the Sycamore quantum processor.
The paper states, “This is a successful attempt to observe traversable wormhole dynamics in an experimental scenario.”
Einstein-Rosen bridges are the name given to wormholes in honor of the two physicists who developed the theory: Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.
