On the possibility of the generation of an artificial wormhole

TL;DR

This paper explores the theoretical possibility of creating artificial wormholes by manipulating virtual wormholes in spacetime foam using external fields, highlighting the challenges and potential models for such a feat.

Contribution

It models spacetime foam as virtual wormholes and analyzes how external fields influence their density, proposing initial ideas for artificial wormhole generation.

Findings

External fields suppress virtual wormhole density

Obstruction to straightforward artificial wormhole creation

Proposed preliminary model for artificial wormholes

Abstract

We model spacetime foam by a gas of virtual wormholes. Then applying an external field one may change the density of virtual wormholes and try to organize a wormhole-like structure in space. The relation between an additional distribution of virtual wormholes and the external field is considered for the homogeneous case. We show that the external fields suppress the density of virtual wormholes which sets an obstruction for creating an actual wormhole in a straightforward fashion. We also present a rough idea of a more complicated model for the artificial creation of a wormhole.
