Physics supports the concept of wormholes but until now most scientists agreed they would be too small and unstable for a person to travel through.
Physicists at Princeton University in the US have used quantum mechanics to find a mathematical loophole which they think shows it could be possible to create a wormhole large enough for humans and their spacecraft.
"We have not given any plausible mechanism for their formation. We have only argued that they are configurations allowed by the equations." It's a bit of a confusing concept but a wormhole is essentially a theoretical method of folding space and time so two places in space can be connected together.It shows how astronauts on a spacecraft could travel through a wormhole with only a small amount of time passing for them but, for people back on Earth, hundreds or even thousands of years could have passed.
