Are wormholes real or are they just magic disguised as physics and maths? And if they are real how do they work and where can we find them?
Ah, wormholes. The intergalactic shortcut. A tunnel through space-time that allows intrepid travelers to hop from star system to star system without ever coming close to the speed of light.

But could we do it? Could we actually warp and bend space-time to make a convenient tunnel, making all of our galactic dreams come true? This fascinating video by the Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell team asks those very questions.
