You can never survive a wormhole #universe #briancox #theory

Why you could never survive traveling through a wormhole, even if one existed. Wormholes are tunnels in the fabric of space-time connecting two completely separate points in the universe. That means theoretically you could step into one end and instantly appear somewhere billions of light years away. In that single step, you'd cross distances that would normally take millions of years. To put that in perspective, a wormhole could connect Earth directly to Andromeda in a single footstep. The ultimate shortcut through the universe, but here's where it gets truly deadly. Even if a wormhole existed and stayed open, the tidal forces inside would stretch your body apart before you reach the other end. The gravitational differences between entry and exit would rip you atom by atom. And the radiation inside a wormhole would be so intense it would cook you instantly. The exotic matter needed to keep it open would be toxic to any known form of matter, including your body. And even if you somehow survived entry, you'd have no guarantee where you'd exit.
