Recently, a study confirmed the possibility that wormholes, hypothetical tunnels running throughout the galaxy that permit space travel to be faster than the speed of light, exist. The discovery suggests that wormholes leave dark imprints in the sky that can be viewed through a telescope. If these fragments in the sky are in fact detected, then Einstein’s theory about cosmic shortcuts in our galaxy are also proven real, bringing to life a myriad of science fiction novels.

According to Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, photons, dust, and background stars gather in a ring which causes light to travel in a line that is not straight and, in turn, creates wormholes.

With these shadows patterned in the sky, astrophysicists agree that the current literature surrounding wormholes and cosmic ripples in our universe will be subject to intense change from telescope discoveries. If it is proven that these shadows are a left-over mark from this type of phenomenon, thereby corroborating Einstein’s theory, then time travel might not be that outlandish of an idea; when you feel you want to change the past, simply look to the stars.
