European physicists say some stars could contain wormholes, tunnel-like passages connecting distant points in space-time, a concept sparking much debate. Physicist Vladimir Folomeev in the Kyrgyz Republic and his colleagues suggest pairs of stars could be joined by wormholes full of an exotic material known as "phantom matter," ScienceNews.org reported Friday. Strictly hypothetical, phantom matter has been put forward as a possible explanation for the accelerating expansion of the univer ... read more
