A wormhole has two mouths that can be separated by an enormous distance, and the tunnel itself is called the “throat”. Where the tunnel comes out into space it is called the “mouth”. Because space and time are so closely connected, we often talk about space-time when investigating how the universe works.Ī wormhole is formed by space-time curving in such a way that a tunnel forms between two separate regions in the universe.
The more curved space is, then the slower time passes.
This curving of space caused by matter also affects time. When objects move around the Earth they follow the bent space which makes them fall towards Earth.
