For centuries, physicists around the world have contemplated the likely existence of wormholes in the fabric of our space. Various amounts of people have wondered whether or not wormholes have the ability to exist, or whether they are just a figment of our imagination. However, if they do, what can we do with them and what exactly are they? Are they testable, as in all movies and games, or are they just a theory that should not be studied or taken seriously? What are wormholes made of and how can something physically pass through them? Have fictional representations of this phenomenon blinded us into misinterpreting what they really are? What are wormholes, what can they be used for, and how have they been depicted in modern fictional entertainment? To understand the theorized presence of wormholes, one must first understand the probable existence of black and white holes and how they affect space-time. White and black holes are the foundation of the possible reality of wormholes. But what exactly are black and white holes? Black holes are created when stars, which have gravitational fields so immense that not even light can escape their grasp, collapse (Coffey). For example, if an object were to pass by a black hole, it must be at a safe distance from the hole's event horizon to survive. The event horizon of a black hole is the perimeter around the hole, where not even light or radiation has the ability to escape (Coffey). If the object passing by the hole is not at this safe distance from its horizon, any attempt to move away would be unfortunate (Greene 79). Essentially, if an object were too close to a black hole, its gravitational force would only tear it apart (Greene 80). Also... middle of paper... pyre. The entire novel, Relativity, centers on an aspiring teenager, Ruby Wright, who appreciates science. After moving to Ohio, she discovers an oak tree near her house, which hums and vibrates like a machine. After playing with this mysterious tree, Ruby discovers that it is actually a controllable wormhole. It allows her to traverse ten different dimensions of her life, where she attempts to find the perfect reality (Bishara). To continue, in Peet Janes' novel, Star War's Handbook 3: Dark Empire, a major antagonist known as Palpatine has the ability to create wormholes using the Force. However, he not only uses the well-known Force, but a more distinctive force known as Force Storm (Janes). Wormholes have incredibly influenced modern fiction over the years, giving hope that one day we will be able to do what our imaginations dream of.
