Wormholes supported by a combination of normal and quintessential matter in Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell gravity
arXiv:1212.0153 · doi:10.4236/jmp.2013.41006
Abstract
It is shown in the first part of this paper that a combined model comprising ordinary and quintessential matter can support a traversable wormhole in Einstein-Maxwell gravity. Since the solution allows zero tidal forces, the wormhole is suitable for a humanoid traveler. The second part of the paper shows that the electric field can be eliminated (Einstein gravity), but only by tolerating enormous tidal forces. Such a wormhole would still be capable of transmitting signals.
