JAKARTA - Like the Avengers: Endgame, we see how superheroes travel between dimensions. In fact, researchers believe that humans can jump distances on an astronomical scale, in the blink of an eye using wormholes.

This is a topic riddled with speculation. However, a recent study revealed that traversing a wormhole for an interdimensional journey is not just a figment and not a far-fetched idea.

Cited from Futurism, Wednesday, March 10, two research groups suggested a new theory regarding how to make wormholes safe for humans to pass through. The two findings were published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Wormholes have long been used in the plots of science-fiction works. The wormhole becomes an interdimensional portal that connects two distant points of the universe. However, this function has not been proven correct.

There are also other problems, such as gravitational collapse. If a wormhole exists, any material will lose its connection as it travels from one side to the other. That's why some theories suggest humans use certain materials to keep wormholes open.

Jose Blázquez-Salcedo from Madrid's Complutense University expressed a different opinion. According to him, maybe we don't need the material. The reason is that the material is made of fermion, a basic particle that is used by many people to make building materials.

By changing the mass and charge of the fermion, Blázquez-Salcedo revealed that wormholes that humans can traverse may exist but must consider other things. The problem is, a wormhole that is likely to be traversed has a very small size for humans to pass through.

Researchers Juan Maldacena from the Institute for Advanced Study, New Jersey, and Alexey Milekhin from Princeton University provide other possibilities for wormholes that are larger and more accessible to humans.

The five-dimensional wormhole detailed in a separate paper says it could theoretically allow a person to travel across the galaxy in less than a second.

The only problem is that only people passing through the wormhole can feel the journey. Meanwhile, for others who do not enter the wormhole, travel in space will take thousands of years.
