Question:
Hi,
I have been trying to get a firm hold of the whole wormhole idea (aka
I am an amateur). I was thinking about how wormholes could connect
regions of space, and thought, why not regions of time? Think about a
tree turned upside down. the bark would be the mouth of the wormhole, and
the ends of the many branches would be the other ends. Assume that the
wormhole is at time '0', and everything to the left of the wormhole is in
the past, and the right is the future (it makes more sense drawn on
paper). So, if an object were inserted into the first mouth of the wormhole, which part
of time would it appear in? And if so, would it exit through one end, or
all of them? or would many duplicates be created? (Note one of my
teachers rejected the idea of the copies being made because matter cannot
be created nor destroyed) Thanks for reading this, and sorry if i was not
clear.
Replies:
Cool idea. I do not think anybody knows the answer, but I would guess no
copies. Also, I would guess there would be something in normal space
corresponding with every mouth.
