Wormhole Linking Black Holes Predicted by New Research
GENEVA – A newly published study suggests the potential existence of wormholes-theoretical tunnels through spacetime-connecting two black holes.Researchers predict these wormholes wouldn’t be smooth passages,but rather long,bumpy structures resembling caterpillars. The findings, appearing in Physical Review Letters on November 6, 2025, offer a novel perspective on the complex relationship between gravity, quantum entanglement, and the fabric of the universe.
This research builds on decades of theoretical physics, but gains urgency with advancements in gravitational wave detection and black hole imaging. Understanding wormholes, even theoretically, could unlock insights into the fundamental nature of spacetime, potentially revolutionizing our comprehension of cosmology and the universe’s origins. Further inquiry could also illuminate the perplexing connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity, a major challenge in modern physics.
The study, led by Javier M. Magán, proposes these wormholes arise from “semiclassical” effects-a blend of classical gravity and quantum mechanics. Unlike the idealized, symmetrical wormholes often depicted in science fiction, these predicted structures are asymmetrical and characterized by significant distortions. The team’s calculations indicate that the wormhole’s shape is heavily influenced by the quantum entanglement between particles near the black holes’ event horizons.
Researchers utilized mathematical models to demonstrate how entangled states can create and sustain these wormhole geometries. The analysis suggests that the more entangled the particles, the more stable the wormhole becomes. This connection between entanglement and wormhole stability is a key finding,offering a potential pathway for future research into the creation and maintenance of traversable wormholes-though significant hurdles remain.
The research team’s findings are detailed in the paper, “Semiclassical Wormholes toward Typical Entangled States,” published November 6, 2025, with DOI: 10.1103/btw6-44ry. The study was conducted by a team including Javier M. Magán and published in Physical review Letters.
