Lorentzian Wormholes: From Einstein to Hawking

Matt Visser
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a taxonomy of wormhole taxonomies, from wormhole to time machine, and from wormholes to time machines, with a focus on wormholes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analogue Gravity

TL;DR: Analogous gravity is a research programme which investigates analogues of general relativistic gravitational fields within other physical systems, typically but not exclusively condensed matter systems, with the aim of gaining new insights into their corresponding problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acoustic black holes: horizons, ergospheres and Hawking radiation

TL;DR: In this article, a pedagogical derivation of the Lagrangian equation for the velocity potential describing a sound wave is identical to that for a minimally coupled massless scalar field propagating in a (3 + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

An exotic class of Kaluza-Klein models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the case where particles are gravitationally trapped near a four-dimensional submanifold of the higher-dimensional spacetime and construct a Kaluza-Klein model in five dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jerk, snap, and the cosmological equation of state

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the Friedmann equations to infer the scale factor of the cosmological equation of state at the current epoch from the observed scale factor at the previous epoch.
