Hi, to all the science nerds out there- Could someone explain what a wormhole is, how it'd work, some of the theory behind it, all in terms that someone with a casual interest in science could understand?
A friend tried explaining how they worked to us but they said they know jackshit about the uh... Bose Einstein-Rosen bridges...??? I know we need exotic matter with negative mass to keep a wormhole open but I want to also know why they shorten travel, how do they allow us to essentially have irl portals if they exist, and if we're travelling along a different plane/dimension or something bc we understand zilch of this-
