Time travel is not possible.

The effects of a wormhole would depend on the author of the story you are reading.

Is it possible for black holes to lead to other universes?

Using black holes to get from one place to another is an interesting story. Here, people sometimes talk about wormholes. Wormholes, or "shortcuts" through spacetime, were first considered because they arise as solutions to some of the equations of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Unfortunately, the first such solutions were such that if you tried to travel through one of them, it would immediately collapse and crush you (that is, having you in it would prevent the wormhole solution from working). In the mid 1980s, interest in wormholes that could be traversed was rekindled because Carl Sagan wrote a novel ("Contact"; perhaps you've seen the movie?) in which he needed a wormhole that could be traveled safely. Given that he was a famous scientist, he didn't want to just babble meaningless technojargon, so he called up his friend Kip Thorne, a professor at Caltech who is an expert in general relativity. Thorne and his colleagues have since worked out some solutions of the equations which *may* allow for wormholes that can be traveled through safely. The only catch is that they have to be made of so-called "exotic" matter, which has a total energy which is negative. This isn't quite as impossible as it sounds, but it still isn't all that likely! By the way, one tricky thing about wormholes, and about faster-than-light travel in general, is that any time you can appear to go faster than light, you can travel backwards in time (this is one consequence of Einstein's theory of relativity). Therefore, if you have a wormhole you can time-travel. This can lead to lots of nasty paradoxes: one of the most common is called the grandfather paradox. In this paradox, we suppose that I am a brilliant scientist but a real scumbag of a person. I invent a time machine, and my use for it is to go back in time and kill my grandfather before he met my grandmother. Since he's dead, he can't produce my father, who can't produce me, which means that I could not have built the time machine and killed my grandfather, which means that he was able to meet my grandmother and produce my father, then me, so I was able to make the time machine and kill him, so... you get the picture! Paradoxes like this convince some people that you can't travel in time, so you can't travel faster than the speed of light, but it isn't as clear-cut as it seems.


How did the deserts affect travel in Africa?

For many years, the unmapped seas of sand blocked travel.


Is the TΓΌbingen University wormhole real?

Worm holes are a hypothetical feature of spacetime.Theoretically, the could exist but there is no observation data or evidence to say they do.So without evidence, they are not real.However, there was no evidence that planets orbited another star a century ago, so this answer could well change in the future.See related question


Why is Celebi is a Time Travel Pokemon if Dialga already is the Pokemon of time?

Dialga is the ruler and creator of time while Celebi just have the ability to travel in time

Can wormholes from space be used to travel back in time?

No.


Is time travel possible through Wormholes?

Wormholes are highly hypothetical; there is no evidence that they exist, or even that they can exist.


What branch of science deals with time travel wormholes alternative universes and dimensions as well as other things similar?

Theoretical physics.


Will you be able to travel in time?

Yes, it is possible. The law of physic says that time travel is possible. Einstein said that time travel is possible, but it cannot be practical. But Einstein might be wrong. You can travel in time by going through wormholes, though you need super massive amount of energy and wormholes are probably are small as atoms (we can't even see atoms with naked eyes). Or the other way is to make your own time machine, but you can not go back in time before the time machine was made. So time travel is not science fiction, it can become reality in maybe the next 2 millions of years. who knows.


How can wormholes play a part in the universe?

Wormholes open up holes in space that once you enter one it could take you to another place in the galaxy or time. Hence the name wormholes.


Do wormholes suck you in?

Wormholes have a gravitational pull but don't suck you in like black holes do. I , a 13 year old boy, have created an experiment that can make a wormhole that we can use to time travel. If you want to read the experiment plan follow this link... http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-367891#


Can wormholes from space be used to travel forward in time?

They might - but this is extremely hypothetical, and it is quite possible that wormholes don't exist, and can't be created either. -well, you cannot just jump in one. you would need a "ship". or some kind of vehicle that can get you to one. but it would be absurd to actually go through time unless you have nothing here in this time but yourself...


How long does it take to travel through a wormhole in space?

Wormholes are theoretical. It is unlikely we will ever be able to travel through one if they are proven to exist.


How do wormholes form?

It is not even known whether there ARE any wormholes. Wormholes are very hypothetical.


Who came up with the idea of wormholes?

Wormholes are a loophole to Einstein's equation E=mc2 which means nothing can go faster than light. I ,a 13 year old boy, have devised an experiment which can make a wormhole that we can use for time travel. If you want to read the experiment plan follow this link...


How can you travel through space?

space ships. some people think that wormholes can lead to other galaxies


Have scientests proven time travel?

Wormholes are a plausible way to time travel but nobody has made one yet. But I , a 13 year old boy, on the other hand have devised an experiment that can make a wormhole that we can use to time travel.
