Wormholes are an intriguing bit that most people probably chalk up to science fiction. After all, seeing the Millennium Falcon barreling through hyperspeed in Star Wars<\/i> is exciting, but there\u2019s no way we could ever actually travel like that, right? Well, it might not actually be that impossible. According to new research, scientists were able to make a man-made wormhole using a quantum processor.<\/p>\n

Of course, this isn\u2019t to be misconstrued. They didn\u2019t actually make a wormhole that someone was able to rip through space and time. Instead, they made a small, crummy wormhole on a quantum processor that could help teach us more about traversable wormhole dynamics. As such, the man-made wormhole, even if crummy, could be home to a plethora of data.<\/p>\n

The physicists shared a paper detailing their findings on the man-made wormhole in the journal Nature<\/a>. According to that paper, the \u201cbaby wormhole\u201d was a successful attempt at observing traversable wormhole dynamics, something physicists have been trying to understand for decades<\/a>. And, with scientists recently discovering a way to find wormholes in space<\/a>, it could be more important than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
