The theory, essentially, is that a wormhole is a tunnel that isn\u2019t restricted by the normal limitations of 3D Cartesian space and the speed of light, allowing you to travel from one point in space and time, to another point in space and time \u2014 theoretically allowing you to traverse huge portions of the universe, and travel in time.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\\'blog-photo\\' href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog.images\/wormholes-are-just-quantum-entangled-black-holes-says-new-research2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-172154\" alt=\"An illustration of a wormhole\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog.images\/wormholes-are-just-quantum-entangled-black-holes-says-new-research2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a>Wormholes, though, have never been observed \u2014 and while we\u2019ve done a lot of theorizing about how a wormhole might work, and how they fit into general relativity, we\u2019re still talking in purely theoretical terms.

Those caveats aside, though, a ton of new research suggests that each end of the wormhole is connected through spacetime with quantum entanglement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.extremetech.com\/extreme\/172130-wormholes-are-just-quantum-entangled-black-holes-says-new-research\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting, but older\u2026 Two separate research groups, one of which is from MIT, have presented evidence that wormholes \u2014 tunnels that may allow us to travel through time and space \u2014 are \u201cpowered\u201d by quantum entanglement.
