Observable effects from spacetime tunneling
arXiv:gr-qc/9708044 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.56.6293
Abstract
Assuming that spacetime tunnels -wormholes and ringholes- naturally exist in the universe, we investigate the conditions making them embeddible in Friedmann space, and the possible observable effects of these tunnels, including: lensing and frequency-shifting of emitting sources, discontinuous change of background temperature, broadening and intensity enhancement of spectral lines, so as a dramatic increase of the luminosity of any object at the tunnel's throat.
