Wormholes in Space

During a science club meeting, Navella, Corrine, and Kendell were discussing Einstein's theory of relativity. They were trying to understand how this theory describes space. If they were to compare space to a stage, how would Einstein's theory describe it?

• A big flat stage where the events of the universe unfold

• A round, spherical window to a faraway place

• An empty stage that exists unchanged and eternal

• A waterbed-like stage that can be bent and warped

Ian, Cory, and Mia are studying astronomy and come across a concept of a wormhole! What shape do they find the wormhole to be in their textbook?

• Round and spherical

• Flat and rectangular

• Triangular and jagged

• Irregular and asymmetrical

Hunter, Gino, and Ian are studying astronomy and they come across the concept of a black hole. They are particularly intrigued by the event horizon of a black hole. What is the purpose of an event horizon in a black hole?

• To allow anything to enter but nothing to escape

• To trap objects forever at the singularity

• To create a portal to an infinite parallel universe

• To spew out matter like a big bang

Noah, Cory, and Bella are discussing why they can't travel through black holes. What are the reasons they come up with?

• It takes an infinite amount of time to cross over

• They crimp shut in the middle

• They lead to a parallel universe with backwards time

• They only allow dead matter to pass through

Natalia, Noah, and Hunter are studying the mysteries of the universe for their science project. They come across cosmic strings in very old string theory wormholes. What is the role of these cosmic strings in their research?

• They create traversable wormholes in the early universe

• They connect distant parts of space-time

• They keep wormholes open by exerting enormous pressure

• They stabilize wormholes by acting as negative mass

Noah, Corrine, and Caden are discussing a science fiction movie they watched recently. In the movie, a spaceship uses exotic matter to travel through wormholes. What is exotic matter?

• Stuff found on Earth with unique properties

• Antimatter with repulsive gravity

• Particles and antiparticles created by quantum fluctuations

• Stuff with negative mass that can prop open wormholes

Imagine Natalia, Hunter, and Gino are working on a physics project about wormholes! How can they theoretically keep a wormhole open?

• By using cosmic strings to stabilize them

• By manipulating quantum fluctuations in empty space

• By creating a one-way barrier at the event horizon

• By exerting enormous pressure on space-time

Imagine Navella, Bella, and Natalia are brilliant physicists working at a top-secret government lab. They have discovered how to open a single wormhole. What could be the potential consequence of their groundbreaking experiment?

• Creating time travel paradoxes

• Violating the causal structure of the universe

• Breaking the universe in fundamental ways

• All of the above

Mia, Cory, and Milo are working on a school project about wormholes. According to their research, where can wormholes currently be found?

• In the center of galaxies as supermassive black holes

• In the vacuum of space as cosmic strings

• On paper in the form of equations

• In the early universe as remnants of the Big Bang
