In physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime that is essentially a ‘shortcut’ through space and time. A wormhole has at least two mouths which are connected to a single throat. If the wormhole is traversable, matter can ‘travel’ from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat. While there is no observational evidence for wormholes, spacetimes containing wormholes are known to be valid solutions in general relativity.
The term wormhole was coined by the American theoretical physicist John Wheeler in 1957. However, according to Coleman and Korte, p.199 of ‘Hermann Weyl’s Raum – Zeit – Materie and a General Introduction to His Scientific Work’, Hermann Weyl invented the idea of wormholes in 1921 in connection with his analysis of mass in terms of electromagnetic field energy.

Agujero de Gusano
En física, un agujero de gusano, también conocido como un puente de Einstein-Rosen, es una hipotética característica topológica del espacio-tiempo, descrita por las ecuaciones de la relatividad general, la cual es esencialmente un "atajo" a través del espacio y el tiempo. Un agujero de gusano tiene por lo menos dos extremos, conectados a una única "garganta", pudiendo la materia ‘viajar’ de un extremo a otro pasando a través de ésta.
En este sentido es una actualización de la decimonónica teoría de una cuarta dimensión espacial que suponía -por ejemplo- dado un cuerpo toroidal en el que se podían encontrar las tres dimensiones espaciales comúnmente perceptibles, una cuarta dimensión espacial que abreviara las distancias…y así los tiempos de viaje.

[...] The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books – a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects [...]
