So it's a great image. And we've seen these. We've taken pictures of black holes and galaxies and seen that these are circles. These are spherical objects.

And so then the next thing would be, okay, for a wormhole… What would it look like if I entered a wormhole from one side? Would it be a hole or would there be just some tube sitting in space? Well, no, it would be one sphere connected to another sphere.

So one of the requirements for a wormhole is you need exotic matter.

Yeah. So you need matter that's pushing out. You need matter to keep the wormhole, so to speak, open. And that means that that is matter that's not trying to clump together like our matter that we know of. You know, if you drop a ball, it's going to fall towards the earth. But this matter, if you drop a ball, it will repel. It will go in the opposite direction.

It's like anti-gravity, but in a sense that we would need, you know, very weird atoms or something to hold the wormhole together. Hold it together and keep it open. So you need a force, you know, if you will, to push against the fabric of space-time to hold it open so that you can go through. Right. The other thing is, is that you need kind of like, so to speak, a...

I would say like a fake extra dimension so that you can travel from point A to point B. If point A is in four dimensions and point B is in four dimensions, how do you get from A to B if you only have four in between, right? So you would need kind of like an extra dimension to travel through and then fall back down into four.

It could have a fifth dimension, right? So that you can have the ability to travel through it. And this is where we get the idea of like hyperspace.
