Think wormholes are pure sci-fi? Scientists have found that tweaking the usual notion of entropy (a measure of disorder) gives rise to bizarre clumps of matter with negative mass. That’s exactly the stuff needed to hold open a tunnel to another part of the universe. So the secret of interstellar travel might be hiding in the very concept of information.
🎯 Traversable wormholes were first proposed by [scientist:Kip Thorne]Kip Thorne[/scientist] and Michael Morris—Carl Sagan asked them to devise a realistic method of interstellar travel for his novel *Contact*.
🎬 In *Interstellar*, a wormhole leads the heroes to distant worlds—though keeping the tunnel open required mysterious matter, the very stuff this work investigates.
