Ch 1 · The real science of the portal gun
Fun Fact
Cosmic shortcuts: Einstein's general relativity predicts that space can bend so much it creates wormholes—shortcuts connecting two distant parts of the universe.
Glossary
einstein-rosen bridge (noun)
The scientific name for a wormhole, which is a theoretical shortcut connecting two distant points in space and time. If you imagine spacetime as a sheet of paper, this bridge folds the paper so you can pocket-link two far-off places, just like Rick's portal gun.
