Vacuum-defect wormholes and a mirror world
arXiv:2305.13278 · doi:10.5506/APhysPolB.54.7-A3
Abstract
We have recently discovered a smooth vacuum-wormhole solution of the first-order equations of general relativity. Here, we obtain the corresponding multiple-vacuum-wormhole solution. Assuming that our world is essentially Minkowski spacetime with a large number of these vacuum-defect wormholes inserted, there is then another flat spacetime with opposite spatial orientation, which may be called a "mirror" world. We briefly discuss some phenomenological aspects and point out that there will be no significant vacuum-Cherenkov radiation in our world, so that ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays do not constrain the typical size and separation of the wormhole mouths (different from the constraints obtained for a single Minkowski spacetime with similar defects). Other signatures from a "gas" of vacuum-defect wormholes are mentioned, including a possible time machine.
