How to make a traversable wormhole from a Schwarzschild black hole
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction. The recently discovered acceleration of the universe [1, 2] indicates that its large-scale evolution is dominated by unknown dark energy which violates at least the strong energy condition, and perhaps also the weak energy condition, where it is known as phantom energy [3]. Such phantom energy is precisely what is needed to support traversable wormholes [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. This Letter shows how one could, strictly according to Einstein gravity, theoretically construct such a wormhole from the most standard black-hole solution due to Schwarzschild.

Traversable wormholes and black hole complementarity.
Black hole complementarity is incompatible with the existence of traversable wormholes. In fact, traversable wormholes cause problems for any theory where information comes out in the Hawking radiation. One school of thought on the black hole information-loss problem says that information encoded on infalling matter comes out subtly encoded in the Hawking radiation, which is only approximately ...

describing interaction with the bulk. For models under study, the tensor Πνμ has zero divergence, allowing one to assume E μ = 0. Under this assumption, we try to extend to brane worlds some theorems valid for scalar fields in general relativity (GR). Thus, the list of possible global causal structures in all models under consideration is shown to be the same as is known for vacuum with a cosmo...
متن کاملGeneric wormhole throats
Wormholes and black holes have, apart from a few historical oddities, traditionally been treated a quite separate objects with relatively little overlap. The possibility of a connection arises in that wormholes, if they exist, might have profound influence on black holes, their event horizons, and their internal structure. For instance: (1) small wormhole-induced perturbations in the geometry c...
متن کاملTraversable Wormholes in Geometries of Charged Shells.
We construct a static axisymmetric wormhole from the gravitational field of two charged shells which are kept in equilibrium by their electromagnetic repulsion. For large separations the exterior tends to the Majumdar-Papapetrou spacetime of two charged particles. The interior of the wormhole is a Reissner-Nordström black hole matching to the two shells. The wormhole is traversable and connects...
متن کاملRecent progress in wormhole dynamics
Space-time wormholes were introduced in Wheeler’s idea of space-time foam. Traversible wormholes as defined by Morris & Thorne became popular as potential short cuts across the universe and even time machines. More recently, the author proposed a general theory of wormhole dynamics, unified with black-hole dynamics. This article gives a brief review of the above ideas and summarizes progress on...
