Ah, yes... the wormhole.
A point of endless speculation. Can exotic matter really be the answer? Would matter with negative mass really hold open a wormhole? Or would it behave opposite of matter and anti-matter? Would the forces of gravity repel exotic matter back out of the wormhole at the halfway point, rather than allowing the exotic matter to cluster up and prevent the collapse of the passageway? We may never know...
What I do know is that this has a very nice feeling of movement and light. It could have been a still scene from the movie "Contact", if you just inserted Jodie Foster's head in there.
Well done!

Thanks, and lol, I haven't seen that movie for ages... good movie, though not one I'd watch again. The last time I thought about it was when I recognised the guy who plays her father playing Tritter in House.

You're right... that was him! Good eye!

That may be so, but a wormhole occurs when two ends of a black hole connect. If that's true, how in the world do you make it past the halfway point if there are not one but two singularities there?
Also, on a side note, cool image, I think I'm going to have to learn how to do that now XD

Thanks man!
If my memory serves, not two black holes; a black hole + a white hole... nobody has really managed to theorise whether there are one or two singularities, some believe they share just the one... I doubt that anyone would want to venture past the halfway point though, they'd just get ripped into fundamental particles. Now that would classify as an extreme sport, lol XD

Heck yes, sounds like fun. I'd still like to see some proof that white holes exist in the first place though XD

It's all just theory at the mo'... but I guess that's why it's called Theoretical Physics... we can't be bothered with proof. Too practical. Anything that we have to get out of our chair for is not worth it in the mad world of academia.

Hah yeah, what's so special about reality? Hypothetical situations are so much fun ^_^

If the quantum foam really is as mad as science believes, there's no reason they can't exist.

The latest form of the T.o.E (modern string theory) completely abandons the concept of quantum foam. Which is why it makes the quantum world much more compatible with gravitation. Tune in next week for more nerdy talk hour
