• New research claims wormholes are temporal mirrors, not interstellar tunnels The “mirror” framework addresses the black hole information paradox, a conflict between quantum mechanics and general relativity. • Theoretical research led by Professor Enrique Gaztañaga of the University of Portsmouth challenges the longstanding scientific belief that wormholes constitute a physical passage through spacetime. • Gaztañaga proposes that these structures, known as Einstein-Rosen bridges, act as “mirrors” connecting two opposite temporal directions. • Published in Classical and Quantum Gravity, the study contends that the bridge-like passage described by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen in 1935 was not intended as a galactic transit system. • According to the research, general relativity prevents matter from passing through such a bridge because it would collapse faster than light could travel across it. • A mirror in time Gaztañaga’s team applied a modern quantum interpretation to revisit the 1935 equations.
