Abstract

We point out that there can be humanly traversable wormhole solutions in some previously considered theories for physics beyond the Standard Model, namely the Randall-Sundrum model.

Highlights

  • Traversable wormholes are a staple of the science fiction literature

  • II, we review the main idea for the construction of traversable wormholes and discuss the example involving massless charged fermions

  • In this subsection we review the values of above parameters for the case of Nf free fermions

Summary

INTRODUCTION

They are forbidden by the average null energy condition [1,2,3] They are allowed in the quantum theory, but with one catch, the time it takes to go through the wormhole should be longer than the time it takes to travel between the two mouths on the outside.. We will introduce a dark sector with desirable properties for constructing macroscopic traversable wormholes This dark sector only interacts via gravity with the Standard Model. In the discussion section we mention some further practical issues that make such wormholes problematic in practice
