Wormhole

From ImperialWiki

A wormhole is a theoretical phenomenon that exploits the "curvature of space" to create a shortcut between two distant locations. While wormholes are theoretically possible, no real wormhole has ever been detected.

[edit] Wormholes in Science Fiction

Wormholes, whether natural or artificial, are common methods of interstellar or even intergalactic travel in science fiction stories. Examples include...

• the wormhole in Farscape.
• the wormhole in TNG "The Price"
• the Bajoran Wormhole, from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
• the gate system from Stargate
