Wormholes

This is my entry for week 12 of Blogophilia.





Week 12 Topic: This Is The New "Hip"
bonus points (hard, 2 points): reference the Einstein-Rosen bridge
bonus points (easy, 1 point): include purple legwarmers


Final day to post: May 26, midnight GMT.


I read this week's topic, and I had to google the Einstein-Rosen bridge, because I didn't have any idea what it was.  It turns out to be the same thing as a wormhole - a tunnel connecting two universes.  Some brilliant physicists developed this idea.   Most normal people like me don't think that way.  I was surprised to find out how many people knew what a wormhole was.  Maybe it is the new "hip" to appear to be genius?  I don't know, but the only "hip" I can relate to is wearing purple leg-warmers as a teenager.  Anyway, there's something about a black hole that one would enter that would take you to another universe. That hole is the Einstein-Rosen bridge.  It supposedly can take you to another universe, and another place in time. 

Here's a humorous poem I found that perfectly sums it up:

There was a young lady named Bright

Who traveled much faster than light

She set out one day

In a relative way

And returned on the previous night

by A.H. Reginald Buller

Physics was not my favorite class.  I totally do not understand all the mumbo jumbo terms and theories about this whole wormhole thing:
theory of relativity, black holes, the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, the Kerr black hole, the Schwarzschild black hole, cosmic censorship conjecture, hyperspace, cosmological physics, quantum gravity, quantum mechanics, energy density, etc.

I can relate to a wormhole being something like the hole that Alice in Wonderland chased the rabbit down into.

Here's some of the scientific renditions of a wormhole:



This looks like some kind of listening device,



What's the significance of a bee entering another universe?



This just looks like some kind of modern, fancy tiled floor with a circular stairwell going upstairs.



boobies?



Maybe a colorful pedestal of some kind.



This just looks like DNA to me.



And this looks like one of those sea anemone creatures.



Or a weird looking mushroom.



This reminds me of those space weather thingies.



This one looks like an air filter.



Another stairwell.



And this is just strange.


I can totally not relate to any of that  stuff , and in all reality, it seems a bit scary to me- but this is what I can relate to: 
pretty artistic renditions of the wormhole - I like these much better.












And my favorite of all:
