Bifrost now a reality, or so

If stabilised and made big enough, wormholes can be used as a viable means of space travel in the future-just as Thor does in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

A team of physicists has created the first-ever wormhole, a tunnel that connects two distant points in space and time. Simply put, it is like the magical Bifrost bridge in Marvel Cinematic Universe movies that allows Thor to travel between his home Asgard and the eight other realms with ease.

The Bifrost is nothing but an Einstein-Rosen bridge, or a wormhole — theorised in 1935 by Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen. The term “wormhole” was coined in the 1960s by Princeton physicist John Wheeler, who felt Einstein-Rosen bridges were akin to the holes that worms bore through apples.
