Science Fiction Inspiration

Science fiction has long popularized the concept of wormholes as cosmic shortcuts for interstellar travel, from Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time" to Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar." While purely imaginative, these stories often draw on real theoretical physics from Einstein's equations. This cultural fascination inspires public interest and even motivates scientific inquiry, blurring the line between speculative fiction and the outer limits of genuine cosmological research regarding spacetime tunnels.
