Soon we might be able to travel to distant worlds where one hour is equivalent to one month on Earth, just like Matthew McConaughey was able to in Interstellar or will we?
Scientists have now released a step-by-step procedure on how to create a wormhole. It's just that, the components required to make one are not yet completely understood and the equipment does not exist.The process in theory is as easy as making a Cup Phone - all you need is two paper cups, or in this case, two blackholes which are connected to each other by a cosmic string, a theoretical object not wider than a proton and as long as the diameter of the universe.

A wormhole can be explained by the theory of relativity as a warp/bend in space-time continuum. It connects two distant portions of the universe through a tunnel that exists in a hypothetical one-dimensional plane. One of the problems faced by a wormhole is that it cannot remain stable for a long duration. But, according to a new research published on arXiv, researchers have found a way to create stable-ish wormhole. The theory proposes a wormhole that is collapsing very slowly, which can be used to transfer messages and even objects before it disintegrates.

The theory is based on the concept of charged black holes, where a negatively charged black hole is connected to a distant positively charged black hole effectively giving us a bridge (Einstein-Rosen Bridge). The problem faced is that as soon as something passes through the wormhole it will collapse. While another problem is that, the black holes will be attracted to each other by gravitational and electrical forces. By using the cosmic strings, these black holes can be theoretically kept in place and even connected to each other to increase stability.
