The popular models of wormholes in space are found everywhere - from sci-fi novels, through Hollywood movies to astronomy books, and general theory of relativity. Most often they are depicted as winding tunnels with starlight and edge of stellar lightning. But the truth is, nobody knows for sure what these portals look like in space and time. Or at least until now. Because a Russian physicist was able to find a way to predict the physical properties of these hypothetical models by using everything that astronomers know about light and space .
Dr. Roman Konopli from Russian University RUND believes that the key to understanding the shape of the tunnel that connects a black and white hole in the so-called a wormhole, lies in the way the energy spreads in space in the form of waves. For this purpose, he used quantum mechanics to calculate how the light waves would be distorted in the electromagnetic fields around the black hole, which is the entrance to the tunnel.
