Introduction to Spacetime and Travel Concepts
For decades, the beginning of time has been believed to be the Big Bang [00:16:16]. There has also been much discussion about the possibility of achieving speeds greater than light [00:21:04]. In Poland, a synchronization protocol called “White Rabbit” was developed [00:26:00].
Evolution of Theories on Spacetime Tunnels
While wormholes were considered strictly theoretical objects a few years ago, possibly existing but beyond human reach, today physicists are theoretically more willing to accept the possibility of traveling with the help of space-time tunnels [01:17:55].
Einstein’s Contributions
About 100 years ago, Einstein published two significant documents [01:41:42]:
- One known as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.
- The second describes quantum entanglement [02:04:08].
Today, physicists are in practical agreement that both documents describe the same phenomenon [02:06:48].
Connection Between Entanglement and Spacetime Tunnels
A space-time tunnel formed by the merger of two black holes implies that these black holes must be completely entangled [02:12:35].
Understanding Entanglement
Entanglement is an inexplicable phenomenon that is assumed to exist [02:28:00]. Two particles are entangled when they behave in a consistent way: if the quantum state of one particle changes, the second particle will also change its state [02:32:35]. In laboratory conditions, particles must interact for entanglement to occur [02:45:10]. Space-time tunnels are believed to be based on black holes that need to be entangled to establish this connection [02:53:27].
Stability of Spacetime Tunnels
Historically, space-time tunnels were considered unstable [03:08:44]. It was thought that one could not jump into a black hole on one side and emerge from the other because there’s a disruption of time inside, where time and space exchange places—an abstract and difficult concept [03:32:45]. Maintaining the stability of such a tunnel to exit on the other side is challenging [03:42:37].
For many years, it was believed that individuals jumping into such a tunnel would be torn apart [03:52:13]. While there is debate in physics about whether anything can fall out of a black hole (Hawking believed not, but current scientists suggest it can in the form of light), physicists like Leonard Susskind agree that with the right amount of information introduced into entangled black holes, stability can be maintained [04:17:15]. However, exiting from the other side remains beyond current civilization’s technical capabilities [04:57:07].
Practical Applications and Research
The phenomenon of quantum entanglement is now used in quantum computers for error correction [05:16:51]. Experiments and theoretical models of quantum field theory and gravity are conducted on quantum computer platforms to ensure error correction and encryption [05:24:27]. The biggest challenge in entanglement (understood as particle interaction) is ensuring error correction, which entanglement provides as an experimental testing ground before dreaming of space-time tunnel travel [05:45:10].
