Wormholes Quote by John D. Barrow
““Moreover it is assumed that wormholes only join universes to baby universes, or universes to themselves; there are no wormholes joining different baby universes in this approximation, nor are there allowed to be wormholes which split up into two or more other wormholes.””
About This Quote
Source Paper: The Physical Universe, 1991
Wormholes are theorized to connect a universe to itself or to a baby universe, but not to link separate baby universes or split into multiple wormholes in this model.
In simple terms: Wormholes link a universe to itself or a baby universe, not separate ones.
Key Takeaway
Consider the limits of wormhole connectivity.
