Is a wormhole a mathematical theory?
There is an interesting consequence to expressing the laws of nature in mathematical equations. Scientists that like working with equations take these basic math equations and “play” around with them. They put the equations in forms nobody thought of before and they are good at interpreting what they mean. Basically what they look for is the equations to tell them some phenomenon is possible. There’s no gurantee the phenomenon really exists, but at least the laws of nature don’t forbid it. Electromagnetic waves were predicted this way, from Maxwell’s equations on electricity & magnetism, before they were found. Positrons (positive electrons) were predicted this way, from Quantum Mechanical equations, before they were found. Black holes were predicted this way ,from Einstein’s Relativity theory, before they were found. Wormholes fall into this category. I believe John Wheeler first suggested the idea of a wormhole by playing with Einstein’s relativity equations. So far wormholes have no
