Black Hole vs Worm Hole: Here’s the Difference Between the Two

Have you been wondering about Black Holes and Worm Holes and the difference both of these cosmic entities have with each other?

Well if yes, we’ll put all your doubts to rest.

This article will differentiate between a Black Hole and a Worm Hole and will try to bring a proper clarity between the two cosmic entities.

Black Holes vs Worm Holes

Black Holes are formed at the time of a supernova explosion when a star collapses into itself. The created Black Hole will have an unimaginably strong gravitational pull which has the power to pull anything and everything around its vicinity.

The event horizon is the starting point of the Black Hole from where even light gets absorbed inside it without an escape from it. Inorder to escape its gravitational pull, the object that is being pulled in will have to exceed the speed of light.

A Worm Hole on the other hand, is actually a speculated cosmic entity which has a funnel like shape and which connects two points of space and time.

Albert Einstein and Nathan Rose has done some studies about Worm Holes and their possible existence and thus a Worm Hole is also known as Einstein-Rosen bridge.

However, Worm Holes are still a speculated cosmic entity with no evidence about its possible existence. Scientists also considers that some of the Black Holes that have been identified might be Worm Holes as Worm Holes also have mouths that are similar to Black Holes.

So back to the question, What is really the difference between the two cosmic entities?

The first and foremost difference between the two is that, we have evidence of the existence of a Black Hole but Worm Holes still remain as a speculated idea with absolutely no proof of its existence.

The other difference is that, an object entering the Black Hole will be pulled into something called its singularity without any escape from it. On the other, an object entering a Worm Hole will come out in another point of space and time without getting stuck inside it.

However, there is also an exception here, if a Black Hole gets inside a Worm Hole, it will indeed get stuck between the two points of the Worm Hole, and if it does happens, we’ll be able to identify a Worm Hole for real.
