"His star student, Erica played by Priah Ferguson eagerly raises her hand. "They allow matter to travel between galaxies or dimensions without crossing the space between," she says from the front row. The story is set in Indiana in a fictional town called Hawkins that gets caught up with a paranormal world and its various villains. Much of Stranger Things is a love letter to the 80s; this scene is straight out of a John Hughes movie."
"Theoretical physicists still use it to explore scientific questions today. At the core of Einstein's theory is the idea that the universe is basically a single swath of fabric, with space and time woven into one continuum. In 1935, Einstein and his colleague Nathan Rosen found a mathematical solution that suggested this spacetime continuum could form a kind of tunnel connecting two distant points, called an Einstein-Rosen bridge."
Wormholes are theoretical tunnels in the spacetime continuum arising from solutions to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Such tunnels, called Einstein-Rosen bridges, mathematically connect widely separated regions and could act as shortcuts between distant points or dimensions. Wormholes frequently appear in science fiction as devices for rapid space or time travel. The spacetime framework treats space and time as a single woven fabric, and the 1935 Einstein-Rosen solution suggested that this fabric could form tunnel-like connections. Theoretical physicists continue to use wormhole models as useful tools to probe gravitational and quantum questions.
