New Thin-Shell Wormhole Model Proposes Bridge Between Black Holes

Physicists Farook Rahaman and Arya Dutta have proposed a new mathematical model for constructing a thin-shell wormhole. Their work explores the idea of connecting two black holes using exotic matter. The research has been accepted for publication in the International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics. Dutta and Rahaman used the 'Cut-and-Paste' technique to build their theoretical wormhole. This method involves joining two black holes with exotic matter, such as dark matter, to form a bridge through space. The team also incorporated the Kalb-Ramond field, vacuum expectation value (VEV), and Ricci tensor to modify the black hole solution.

The stability of the wormhole depends on the size of its 'throat' and other hypothetical parameters. Under normal conditions, the structure remains unstable. However, the researchers suggest that stability could be achieved by adjusting certain values or reinterpreting the underlying physics. The study also references the Klein bottle, a four-dimensional shape, to help visualise the wormhole’s properties. The paper presents a theoretical framework for wormholes, which remain unobserved in the universe. The model offers a way to explore these hypothetical structures using advanced mathematical tools. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions about the feasibility of traversable wormholes in modern physics.
