Wormholes are an important concept because they connect our world with the universe that the world Azthanian is part of. Apparently, they can only be held open by exotic matter. The Soul Chaser is the only one capable of creating a wormhole to our realm. There are alien races that can create wormholes to Zalonia, but not to Earth. Wormholes happen when two sheets of spacetime are joined together. A wormhole closes because of gravity, so there would be a need for “negative energy” to hold them open. Negative energy is behind the acceleration of the universe’s expansion. Some believe they may exist at the center of very bright galaxies. Matter coming out of one side of the wormhole would collide with matter going in, and this would cause a spectacular display of gamma rays.
Unlike a black hole, a wormhole would leak some of the gravity from the other side. There are weird “odd radio circles” in the sky. Some believe that black holes are a type of wormhole that leads to a white hole.
Exotic matter does not behave like gases, liquids, or solids. Extremely cold helium is one example of exotic matter. It is called superfluid helium, which is a liquid that can climb walls. It might be a key ingredient in making wormholes. Exotic matter that could be related to wormholes is matter with negative mass. Matter with negative mass would push other matter away from it. ‘
In Zalonia, there is an alien race known as the gnonows. They have a base on one of the satellites that float around the planet of Aztharian. In the back of this satellite, there is a wormhole that is consistently open, which allows the Gnonows to return to their home planet at will.
There are sometimes wormholes that open for other alien species, but they don’t stay open for long. They are usually made because the alien was experimenting around. They have to leave quickly because the wormhole won’t last long. There have been some aliens who have gotten trapped in Zalonia for not returning to the wormhole in time.
