Physicists have suggested that changes in the orbit of stars near huge black holes can be used to search for wormholes. Nobody has succeeded in proving their existence.
A wormhole, or a wormhole, is a hypothetical feature of space-time, which is at every particular moment a tunnel in space. It connects two different points of space-time. Theoretical calculations based on Einstein's special theory of relativity allow their existence. It is likely that wormholes are a projection of the fifth dimension.
One of the conditions for the formation of a wormhole is superhigh attraction. It can only be near objects with a huge mass. A group of scientists from the University of Buffalo began studying one of the largest black hole in Sagittarius A * closest to Earth. This is a radio source that is located almost in the center of our galaxy at a distance of about 26 thousand light years from our planet.
In their study, scientists believe that if a wormhole really exists near this black hole, then its attractive force will affect nearby stars at the opposite end of the tunnel. In this way, the existence of the wormhole can be detected, meanwhile looking for slight deviations in the orbits of the stars located near Sagittarius A *.
To carry out their plans, astronomers have found a star that will be ideal for observation.This is S2, not far from this black hole. It is located near it relatively close - 17 light years, or 120 times further than the distance of the Earth from the Sun. However, modern methods of astronomical research do not provide such accuracy that it would be possible to detect deviations in the orbit of this celestial body. According to astronomers, such tools will become available in the coming decades.
According to the researchers, even if deviations are still found in the near future, this will not be enough to detect a wormhole. The absence of disturbances in the motion of the celestial body around the orbit is unlikely to show us the presence of a wormhole. This method also does not allow to answer the question whether there is a passability through a mole hole and whether it is possible to travel with their help between universes.
The last observation is critical for further studies of black holes. If the wormhole is impassable, this means that it cannot be used in space-time to move objects or a signal.
Astronomers also believe that if wormholes actually exist, then they can be used to travel in time. It is too early to talk about this with today's instruments and methods of astronomical research. The formation of a passable wormhole would require the existence of a special substance with the so-called negative energy. So far, the existing picture of the world denies this.
