A wormhole is a postulated method, within the general theory of relativity, of moving from one point in space to another without crossing the space between.[1][2][3][4] Wormholes are a popular feature of science fiction as they allow faster-than-light interstellar travel within human timescales.[5][6][7]
A related concept in various fictional genres is the portable hole. While there's no clear demarcation between the two, this article deals with fictional, but pseudo-scientific, treatments of faster-than-light travel through space.
A jumpgate is a fictional device able to create an Einstein–Rosen bridge portal (or wormhole), allowing fast travel between two points in space.
