Wormholes are formed through mathematical, idealised solutions from Einstein’s relativity rules, which illustrate a connection between separated sections of space-time through a three-dimensional tunnel (refer …show more content…
For example, consider Einstein’s train and platform thought experiment, with one observer inside a train, with headlights, travelling at half the speed of light and another standing on a platform (VCE Physics, 2017). When passing the observer on the platform, it is expected that the light would be moving at 1.5 times the speed of light as you add the speed of the train to the speed of light (VCE Physics, 2017). However, due to special relativity, light is constant from every perspective, resulting in time being altered. This is because more time has passed for the observer on the platform than in the carriage, hence creating a time dilation (VCE Physics,
