If it were possible, people probably wish each and every week that someone from the future could send tomorrow’s lottery ticket numbers. Physicists from Cambridge University believes “if a thin wormhole stays open long enough, people might send messages instantly through time using pulses of light,” says The Daily Mail. Modern physics states that f the vacuum is full of fluctuating electromagnetic waves of different possible wavelengths, it creates a vast amount of energy, normally invisible to humans, and between two parallel plates in a vacuum, some energy waves would be too large to fit through creating a negative Casimir energy.

1. Origins

The American theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler coined the term wormhole in 1957; however, in 1921, the German mathematician Hermann Weyl already had proposed the wormhole theory, in connection with mass analysis of electromagnetic field energy. Here’s what Wheeler said: “This analysis forces one to consider situations…where there is a net flux of lines of force, through what topologists would call ‘a handle’ of the multiply-connected space, and what physicists might perhaps be excused for more vividly terming a ‘wormhole’.”
