New study shows wormholes aren’t tunnels, and the Big Bang was a bounce
SMRTR summary
Researchers have reinterpreted Einstein's 1935 Einstein-Rosen bridge concept, arguing it's not a traversable tunnel but a mathematical connection between opposite time directions in quantum physics. This breakthrough could solve major puzzles like black hole information loss and suggests the Big Bang was actually a quantum "bounce" from a previous contracting universe rather than an absolute beginning.
