Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy for Non Scientists
In 2009, Dr Eric W. Davis wrote a document entitled Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy for the Defense Intelligence Agency. The document is over 30 pages long (with references) so in this post we’re going to summarise the key concepts for those of us who don’t possess a scientific background.
What is a traversable wormhole?
A traversable wormhole is a theoretical concept in physics that describes a shortcut through spacetime that could potentially allow for faster-than-light travel. The idea is based on the theory of general relativity, which describes how gravity affects the curvature of spacetime. A wormhole is a tunnel-like structure that connects two distant points in spacetime, and a traversable wormhole would allow for objects to pass through it and travel from one point in the universe to another point in a relatively short amount of time.
The concept of traversable wormholes has been popularized in science fiction, but it is still purely speculative and has not been proven to exist in reality. To make a traversable wormhole, it is needed to find a way to stabilize it, as it is predicted that they are naturally unstable and would collapse under their own weight.
The theory of traversable wormholes raises many questions and challenges in physics, such as the existence of exotic matter with negative energy density and the potential for time travel. While the idea of traversable wormholes is intriguing, it is currently purely theoretical and there is no experimental evidence for their existence.

What is spacetime?
In physics, spacetime is the concept that combines the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a four-dimensional continuum. The idea of spacetime was first proposed by the mathematician Hermann Minkowski in 1908, and it was later developed by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity.
In general relativity, spacetime is not a fixed background on which objects move, but rather it is a dynamic entity that can be affected by the presence of matter and energy. The concept of spacetime is used to describe the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of massive objects such as stars and planets, and it is also used to explain phenomena such as the bending of light around massive objects and the phenomenon of time dilation near massive objects.
Spacetime is not an abstract concept but it is related to the way the universe behaves and how it is observed. The idea of spacetime is widely used in physics, cosmology, and many other fields, and it is considered to be one of the cornerstones of modern physics.
In simple terms, spacetime is a way of thinking about the universe that combines the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional “fabric”. Think about it as a grid that everything in the universe exists on, and where gravity and movement affect how the grid is shaped and how objects move on it.
What is gravity?
Gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects toward its center. The force of gravity keeps all of the planets in orbit around the sun. Earth’s gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall.
Gravity is a natural force that is caused by the presence of mass or energy. The more mass or energy an object has, the stronger its gravity. The force of gravity acts on all objects in the universe, but the strength of the force depends on the mass or energy of the objects involved and the distance between them. The strength of gravity also decreases as the distance between objects increases.
The theory that describes the behavior of gravity is known as General Relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915. This theory describes gravity as a curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of massive objects. In General Relativity, gravity is not a force that is transmitted between objects, but rather it is a curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of massive objects.
How would gravity create a traversable wormhole?
Since gravity is a curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of massive objects, then the theory is that a traversable wormhole would be created by the intense gravity of a very dense and massive object, such as a neutron star or a black hole.
This intense gravity would cause the fabric of spacetime to curve in on itself, forming a tunnel-like structure that connects two distant points in spacetime. The idea is that this wormhole could be used as a shortcut for travel, allowing an object to pass through it and travel from one point in the universe to another point in a relatively short amount of time.
What is a stargate?
A stargate is a fictional device that is often depicted in science fiction as a means of faster-than-light travel. The concept of a stargate is similar to that of a traversable wormhole, in that it is a shortcut through spacetime that allows for travel to distant locations in the universe. The main difference is that a stargate is often portrayed as a man-made or artificial device, while a traversable wormhole is a natural phenomenon that arises from the intense gravity of a massive object.
The concept of a stargate was popularized in the 1994 science fiction movie “Stargate” and the subsequent television series “Stargate SG-1”, in which a team of soldiers and scientists use a stargate to travel to other planets and explore other galaxies. The idea of a stargate has also been used in other science fiction works such as the StarGate TV series, and the video game series “Mass Effect”.
What is negative energy?
Negative energy is a term used in physics to describe a form of energy that is associated with certain types of physical systems, such as the vacuum of space or certain types of fields. It is a theoretical concept that is not directly observable, but is thought to play a role in a number of physical phenomena, such as the stability of black holes and the expansion of the universe.
One way to think about negative energy is that it represents a form of energy that is “less than zero” – that is, it is less than the amount of energy that would be present in a vacuum. This can be thought of as a kind of “anti-energy” or “anti-matter energy”. For example, certain types of fields, such as the Casimir effect, can be thought of as having negative energy.
Another way to think about negative energy is that it is associated with certain types of “exotic” matter, such as a form of matter known as “false vacuum” which is thought to be able to exist in certain regions of space-time. This type of matter has the ability to warp space-time in a way that would allow for the creation of a traversable wormhole.
It’s worth noting that negative energy is a theoretical concept and its existence has not been directly observed or confirmed. Also, it is important to note that negative energy is not the same as negative mass, which would be a form of matter that has a negative mass.
Is negative energy the same as dark energy?
No, negative energy is not the same as dark energy.
Negative energy is a theoretical concept in physics that is associated with certain types of physical systems, such as the vacuum of space or certain types of fields. It is thought to play a role in a number of physical phenomena, such as the stability of black holes and the expansion of the universe.
Dark energy, on the other hand, is a hypothetical form of energy that is thought to make up about 68% of the total energy of the universe. It is thought to be the cause of the observed acceleration of the expansion of the universe. Unlike dark matter, dark energy does not clump like normal matter would, it is distributed uniformly throughout the universe.
While both negative energy and dark energy are theoretical concepts, they are not the same thing and they play different roles in our current understanding of the universe. Negative energy is a theoretical concept associated with certain types of physical systems, while dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that is thought to make up the majority of the universe’s energy and is responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe.
Is negative energy the same as dark matter?
No, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is thought to make up about 85% of the total mass of the universe. It does not interact with electromagnetic forces and thus is invisible to telescopes.
However, it is detected through its gravitational effects on visible matter. The existence of dark matter is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, the motions of galaxies, and the large scale structure of the universe.
