Juan Maldacena, a theorist at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and Leonard Susskind, a theorist at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California Scientists have, for the first time, developed a quantum experiment that allows them to study the dynamics and behavior of a special kind of Theoretical Wormhole. The experiment has not created an actual wormhole (a rupture in space and time), rather it allows researchers to probe connections between Theoretical Wormholes and quantum physics, a prediction of so-called quantum gravity. Quantum gravity refers to a set of theories that seek to connect gravity with quantum physics, two fundamental and well-studied descriptions of nature that appear inherently incompatible with each other.
