wormhole
虫洞
noun WERM-hohl
What It Means
A wormhole is a hypothetical structure of space-time that is envisioned as a long thin tunnel connecting points that are separated in (well) space and time.
A wormhole 是一种假想的时空结构，它被想象成一条细长的隧道，设想为连接在（井）空间和时间中分离的点。
examples
Some science fiction writers speculate that wormholes are the intergalactic highways of the future.
一些科幻作家推测虫洞是未来的星际高速公路。
"Imagine space as a vast sheet of paper. You live at one end and you want to travel to the other end. Ordinarily you'd have to trudge across the entire length of the page to get there. But what if you folded the paper in half instead? Suddenly, where you are and where you want to be are right next to each other. You simply have to jump that tiny gap. We call these objects wormholes because it is like a worm trying to navigate its way around an apple. To get from the top to the bottom it has two choices: Crawl around the outside, or chew a shortcut through the middle." — Colin Stuart, Space.com, 13 July 2021
“把空间想象成一张巨大的纸。你住在一端，你想旅行到另一端。通常你必须跋涉整个页面才能到达那里。但是如果你折叠纸怎么办？变成了一半？突然之间，你所在的位置和你想去的地方紧挨着。你只需要跳过那个微小的间隙。我们称这些物体为虫洞，因为它就像一条试图绕过苹果的蠕虫 “要从上到下，它有两种选择：在外面爬，或者从中间咬出一条捷径。”
Did You Know?
If you associate wormhole with quantum physics and sci-fi, you'll probably be surprised to learn that the word has been around since William Shakespeare's day. To Shakespeare, a "wormhole" was simply a hole made by a worm, but even the Bard subtly linked wormholes to the passage of time; for example, in the poem The Rape of Lucrece, he notes time's destructive power "to fill with worm-holes stately monuments." To modern astrophysicists, a wormhole isn't a tunnel wrought by a slimy invertebrate, but a theoretical tunnel between two black holes or other points in space-time, providing a shortcut between its end points.
如果您将 wormhole 与 quantum physics 和 sci-fi 联系起来，您可能会惊讶地发现这个词自威廉·莎士比亚时代以来就已存在。 对莎士比亚来说，“wormhole「虫洞」”只是蠕虫制造的一个洞，但即使是巴德也巧妙地将虫洞与时间的流逝联系起来； 例如，in the poem The Rape of Lucrece，他指出了时间的破坏力“to fill with worm-holes stately monuments”。 对于现代天体物理学家来说，虫洞不是由黏糊糊的无脊椎动物形成的隧道，而是两个黑洞或时空其他点之间的理论隧道，提供了它们端点之间的捷径。
