QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT CREATES A WORMHOLE As Albert Einstein famously labeled, “spooky action at a distance,” quantum entanglement is a strange theory that involves entangled particles that always assume instant and corresponding states.

Earlier this year, it was discovered that two black holes form a “wormhole” or gravitational tunnel connecting two areas of the universe, when entangled and pulled apart.

Julian Sonner at MIT has found that a similar occurrence happens with the creation of quarks. When two entangled quarks are created, a wormhole is created connecting the entangled pair.

When Sonner created the entangled quarks, a wormhole emerged connecting the two quarks.

These findings suggest that gravity as well as the geometry of the universe, arises from entanglement.

Sonner generated entangled quarks using the Schwinger effect and mapped them on a four-dimensional space. Because gravity is thought to exist in the fifth-dimension, Sonner used a concept in String Theory call holographic duality, which allows a complex dimension to be derived from the next smallest dimension.
