A new theory has attempted to explain whether wormholes, a theoretical connection between two separate points in space-time, could be used as a viable solution to space travel by humans in the future.
But what exactly are wormholes?

Although these wormholes have never been observed, they are consistent with Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
Prior to a new study by physicist Pascal Queiran, it was widely believed that some form of theoretical exotic matter was needed to keep a wormhole open, because it would quickly disappear after it was created with no force to prevent it from closing.

The study found that using the scale, a particle can be documented that crosses the event horizon at the entrance to the wormhole, passes through it and reaches the other side in a finite amount of time.
This means that the path of a particle passing through a hypothetical wormhole can be more easily traced using the Eddington-Finkelstein scale.
If particles can cross a wormhole and reach the other side unharmed, perhaps one day humans will be able to travel through a wormhole and reach points in space-time that are currently inaccessible using current forms of space travel.
