It's very much like a bridge. You can do this thought experiment yourself. You take a sheet of paper, you fold it kind of like in half and you poke a pencil hole right through the middle. And that is essentially a wormhole. It connects two points in space and time together.

I think, according to the physics, there is a non-zero chance that we could find a wormhole. So you're saying there's a chance. I think if we find a wormhole, that means someone else created it.

General relativity is, in a nutshell, it is geometry. Cubes, we're thinking about spheres, cylinders. Pyramids. Pyramids, tetrahedrons, pick your favorite geometry. But there is a specific set of dimensions where general relativity works, and it does not. We have found that in dimensions of three, so we're talking about X, Y, Z, up, down, left, right, And the added dimension of time, right?

Physics tends to work, or our reality tends to be well-behaved, like a well-behaved child, right? But the difference here is that general relativity describes these geometries differently. Using curved surfaces or curved spacetime, how does event A and event B relate to each other through a curved surface, which is just a webbing of multiple events in between the two?

Earth going around the sun, if the earth has mass, the sun has mass, the earth is actually going to be more attracted to the sun. They both will pull on each other, but the earth sits in the curved surface that the sun creates, and that's why we're being attracted to it. That's general relativity in a nutshell.

So very plainly, I would kind of describe the wormhole like a subway tube. So you get in on one side. So let's say you're getting in on Penn Station in New York and you get off at Grand Central. But the in-between, right? So just like the subway is going underground, the wormhole is kind of like what we call like a hyperspace. So you're not actually...
