Possible New Astrophysical Effects of the Gravitational Interaction of Stationary Vortex Electric and Magnetic Fields

Abstract

Possible realistic means of formation of wormholes are considered and investigated. As a realization of such, it is proposed to apply self-gravitating physical fields having a vortex character. In the present paper, we consider using a stationary vortex electric field. We show that within the framework of Einstein’s theory of gravitation, a self-gravitating vortex electric field can induce the formation of wormholes. We also show that the combined use of a vortex electric field and a vortex magnetic field improves the traversability of the obtained wormholes since their throat radii are significantly increased.
