Wormhole in the Big Bang
Wormhole in the Big Bang. Computer artwork of a wormhole (connected funnels) created during the Big Bang (white star at lower centre). Wormholes are tunnels between two points in space and time, as a theoretical solution to Einsteins equations of space-time. Space and time are treated as a single, unified entity called space-time, seen by the grid pattern at each end of the wormhole. It is believed that wormholes formed during the inflationary period of the Big Bang where all matter in the universe expanded from an infinitely compact state 13.7 billion years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork titled "Wormhole in the Big Bang" takes us on a mesmerizing journey through space and time. At the center of this image, we are drawn to a brilliant white star, representing the explosive birth of our universe during the Big Bang. Surrounding it, we witness the formation of a wormhole – two connected funnels that serve as tunnels between distant points in space-time. The grid pattern at each end of the wormhole symbolizes how space and time are intricately linked together, forming what scientists call "space-time". This concept stems from Einstein's equations of general relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of gravity and its effects on the fabric of reality. It is believed that these fascinating wormholes emerged during the inflationary period immediately following the Big Bang. As all matter rapidly expanded from an infinitely compact state 13.7 billion years ago, these cosmic tunnels formed within our expanding universe. This thought-provoking artwork not only showcases humanity's ongoing exploration into cosmology but also sparks profound philosophical questions about our origins and existence. It invites us to contemplate parallel universes, stellar travel, and even concepts beyond traditional physics. As we gaze upon this stunning visual representation created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded that there is still so much left to discover about our vast cosmos – a testament to both human curiosity and scientific progress.
