The Milky Way could be a giant worm hole … – Channel 44 News Channel

 

A new working hypothesis in an international team of scientists makes us recall the argument from science fiction movie director Christopher Nolan, “Interstellar” What if our galaxy, the Milky Way, was a giant worm hole that allowed travel in space and time? The findings of this research have been published in the journal Annals of Physics .

Thanks this film is true that interest in space-time tunnels or wormholes has grown exponentially , but the truth is that astrophysicists have many years theorizing about them.

“What we’re doing in our study was to solve the equation in astrophysics ‘Murph’ (the role played by Jessica Chastain) was working. is evident we did long before the movie came out and it is, in fact, an extremely interesting to study the dark matter problem, “says Paolo Salucci, an astrophysicist at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Trieste (Italy) and expert in dark matter.

To get to this conjecture, astrophysicists combined equations of general relativity with very detailed map of the distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way that makes rethink the scientific community the possibility that dark matter can be another dimension or material transport system galactic . Thus, according to this hypothesis, this new situation allow the possibility to travel through the space-time tunnel because, according to calculations predicted, could be navigable, as happens in the movie “ Interstellar “.

This is a statement? Salucci clear no but, “ could be tested experimentally before? In principle, we could try comparing two galaxies, ours and another very nearby, such as the Magellanic Cloud, but still We are far from any real possibility of making a comparison of this kind. “

Very Interesting
