Is folding space-time possible?

Something travelling on the surface of the paper at the speed of light would take a hundred years to get from A to B. For this reason, physicists think that travel great distances by “folding space” is highly unlikely to be possible.

Can universe be folded?

The Folded Geometry of the Universe came about as a direct result of two questions related to the language of origami. Science currently theorises that approximately 85\% of the universe, known as dark matter, is folded like an origami sheet.

Can we create space-time?

The more massive an object, the greater its distortion of spacetime, and that distortion is felt as gravity. That connection led to the creation of a model that proposes that spacetime can be created or destroyed by changing the amount of entanglement between different surface regions of an object.

Who invented wormholes?

Albert Einstein
The original idea of a wormhole came from physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen. They studied the strange equations that we now know describe that unescapable pocket of space we call a black hole and asked what they really represented.

Why can’t we fold space-time?

However we can’t fold space-time because negating either parity or time doesn’t necessarily give you a valid universe… or at least, it requires you to change the nature of the matter within it. In practice I can’t see how you would ever do it, even if it was possible in theory, which is dubious.

Can space-time-charge be folded?

Folding space-time-charge is simply reflecting half of the hypervolume and attaching it to the unreflected half. The result would be an equally valid universe apart from along the fold line (which is actually 4D), which would suffer from being non-differentiable. It isn’t *certain* that space-time-char

What is space folding in science fiction?

In science fiction media, space folding is a method of faster-than-light whereby the space “folds” so that the start and end points of the trajectory are in the same location, resulting in instantaneous travel.

What is folding space in Star Trek?

In the Star Trek universe, known for its warp drive technology, folding space is depicted as an alternate, instantaneous form of travel effected in different ways by different civilizations.
