A new theory of gravity frees wormholes from the need for exotic matter—just rethink the geometry of space.

Wormholes usually need negative-energy matter, which is almost nowhere to be found. But if you rethink gravity, the fabric of space itself can serve as the "struts." That makes cosmic portals a bit more real.

🎯 Physicist John Wheeler coined the term "wormhole," comparing spacetime to an apple a worm bores through.

🎬 In the movie Interstellar, a wormhole let the heroes cross the galaxy in an instant.
