Uhhh...so the Monolith is right there in the middle, right? I don't wanna go apes and bones, if we can avoid it, but damn, just let me know.
Such a cool and well-made video, but I was thinking... this is going to be really really hard to both prove and reproduce. Annnnd, a few months after it was made by Quanta magazine, they added this text to the description on YouTube, sad to say: "UPDATE: In February 2023, an independent team of physicists presented evidence that the research described in this video did not create any wormholes, holographic or otherwise. Read our coverage of these developments at Quanta Magazine." So, TL;DR --> you can have wormholes on Twitter or X but not yet in real established physics. Those Santa Barbara and CalTech folks are really completely head over heels for the Maldecena Conjecture (we call is AdS / CFT, but the video calls it ER / EPR , and I like that way of thinking about it, to boil it down, but the simplification loses the extent to which the conjecture departs our known universe a bit). I have talked with several of the people in that vid and they are super creme de la creme in theoretical physics, but this work is on a kind of more shaky edge than I think the video makes it seem.
Wow. WOW! I have a very smart kid, early 30's and a software developer, crazy good at math, who I'm going to send this to. Thanks, @Andre0087. Just read your post, @B-Bob. She'll get a kick out of it anyway, although the odds are good that she already knows all about it.
