  Cross-Chain Bridges: What Are These and How Do They Work?

  Cross-chain bridges were introduced to bridge the gap between these blockchains and the wide array of cryptocurrencies that are used for facilitating unique tradeoffs, security gurantees, and scalability. Before cross-chain bridges came into being, people were unable to use Bitcoin on the Ethereum blockchain or vice versa. Cross-chain bridges conne...

  What Happens to Matter Swallowed by Black Holes? Japanese Physicists May Finally Have an Answer

  A team of physicists may have solved the mystery surrounding the matter that is swallowed by black holes. These physicists considered wormholes — theoretical tunnels with two ends at separate points in spacetime — to explain the long-held mystery. Black holes are regions in space through which no matter can pass.

  Space-Time Travel Through Wormholes Could Be a Possiblity, New Study States

  There has been a lot of debate on whether space-time travel through wormholes is possible or not. Most studies have suggested these hypothetical shortcuts are not possible as any passage of a vehicle through one would instantly lead to its collapse. However, a new theory says space-time travel through wormholes may be possible after all.
