Interstellar Travel Is Possible If We Break Into a Higher Dimension, Scientists Say

In the 2014 film Interstellar, humanity takes advantage of a wormhole near Saturn to travel to different galaxies in minutes while searching for a new, habitable planet. Similarly, a network of wormholes allows people to jump instantly between distant planets in the science fiction series Stargate. The iconic show Star Trek is rife with wormholes that connect humans and aliens across distant parts of the Milky Way galaxy in seconds. Whether natural or constructed, wormholes seem to be the perfect gateway to traverse distances that would otherwise take hundreds or even tens of thousands of years to cross, even at the speed of light. Wormholes seem to be studded all over outer space like space elevators that are just waiting to speed us along to interstellar destinations. Scientists think that if we could break into the higher dimension in which wormholes probably exist, we could make traveling to the stars a reality.
