👉 The worm, also known as the wormhole or worm weapon, is a theoretical device that manipulates space-time to create a shortcut between two points in the universe, effectively allowing for faster-than-light travel. In its most basic form, it would involve creating a microscopic wormhole that connects two distant locations, enabling an object to pass through it and emerge at the other end. This process would theoretically bypass the vast distances of space, making interstellar travel much more feasible. However, wormholes remain purely theoretical and face significant scientific challenges, including the need for exotic matter with negative energy density to stabilize them, which has yet to be discovered or produced in sufficient quantities.
