A wormhole is highly unstable, wanting to collapse upon itself. How do you keep open a wormhole?
Well, you're right. It takes positive energy like a star, collection of stars, dead stars to create the wormhole, which is a gateway, a gateway between our dimen four-dimensional spaceime and another portion of spacetime. And it was Einstein himself who introduced that idea in 1935. And then the question is, how do you keep it open?
That requires negative energy. We haven't seen that before. It's a new form of matter, negative matter. But negative matter will stabilize the wormhole so that in principle you can go through it to another point in space and time without it collapsing down on top of you rather than collapsing down in which case it would crush you in half. You don't want that to happen with half of you in one part of the universe and [music] the other half in the other half of the univer.
That's right. That really would make your
