Interview with an Astrophysicist
Model of a Wormhole Dr. John "Jack" Hewitt We interviewed Dr. Jack Hewitt , an astrophysicist at the University of North Florida. Before the interview, Isaias identified the following items that he was interested in addressing with Dr. Hewitt: Clarify how wormholes work. Why do you move slower through time when approaching the speed of light? I know that we can’t travel at light speed, but what is the fastest speed that we can travel that isn’t light speed? Is there any other theoretical way to travel to the past other than something crazy like black holes? What do you know about black holes? Do you know anything about paradoxes? Before our meeting, we also sent Dr. Hewitt Isaias's explanation of a wormhole: Wormholes (as the name suggests) are “holes” that theoretically may appear as rips or tears in spacetime. How you may ask? Well imagine the “spacetime” as a cloth. A wormhole appears when the cloth that is spacetime becomes “bent,” and a “h...
