Wormholes Might Solve Huge Cosmological Mystery

Microscopic wormholes could be driving the universe's accelerated expansion, a recent study suggests. These tiny wormholes, emerging from quantum effects, might explain dark energy—a mysterious force causing the universe's rapid growth. Researchers propose that about 10 billion wormholes form per cubic centimeter each second, potentially matching observed expansion rates. This model, detailed in Physical Review D, could offer new insights into quantum gravity and dark energy, though it remains untestable until more experimental data is available.
