Wormhole event Computer artwork of matter being sucked through a wormhole Wormholes are a possible solution to Einsteins equations that describe the properties of spacetime the continuum of unified space and time Theorists have suggested that on the smallest scale of the universe the incredibly small Planck length the fabric of spacetime may be riddled with these tunnellike wormholes The concept is also found in science fiction where they are used to travel between distant points of the universe However as wormholes would last for less than a second such use would probably be impossible
