Numerical simulations are playing an increasingly important role in modern science. In this work it is suggested to use a numerical study of the famous perihelion motion of the planet Mercury (one of the prime observables supporting…
Wormholes are hypothetical topologically-non-trivial structures of the spacetime. From the theoretical point of view, the possibility of their existence is challenging but cannot be ruled out. This article is a compact and non-exhaustive…
We model spacetime foam by a gas of virtual wormholes. Then applying an external field one may change the density of virtual wormholes and try to organize a wormhole-like structure in space. The relation between an additional distribution…
This research pioneers a method for generating immersive worlds, drawing inspiration from elements of vintage adventure games like Myst and employing modern text-to-image models. We explore the intricate conversion of 2D panoramas into 3D…
Previous research indicates that after standard instruction students at all academic levels often construct a conceptual framework in which the ideas of absolute simultaneity and the relativity of simultaneity co-exist. This article…
An $n$-dimensional Riemannian space is said to be of embedding class $m$ if $n+m$ is the lowest dimension of the flat space in which the given space can be embedded. A spherically symmetric spacetime of class two can be reduced to class one…
This paper utilizes the {\it Black Hole Vision} smartphone application to catalyze a pedagogical shift in General Relativity education through the quantitative analysis of simulated black hole imaging. Presented here for the Schwarzschild…
We present some wormhole configurations using analytic and numerical solutions of the Euclidean field equations considering Einstein Gauss Bonnet dilaton coupled interaction in the Robertson Walker metric. Analytic solutions invoking…
The ground-breaking image of a black hole's event horizon, which captured the public's attention and imagination in April 2019, was captured using the power of interferometry: many separate telescopes working together to observe the cosmos…
Macroscopic traversable wormhole solutions to Einstein's field equations in $(2+1)$ and $(3+1)$ dimensions with a cosmological constant are investigated. Ensuring traversability severely constrains the material used to generate the…
Wormholes are tunnels connecting different regions in space-time. They were obtained originally as a solution for Einstein's General Relativity theory and according to this theory they need to be filled by an exotic kind of anisotropic…
We apply the method of images to the exact initial data for cosmological models that contain a number of regularly arranged discrete masses. This allows us to join cosmological regions together by throats, and to construct wormholes in the…
In the Special Theory of Relativity space and time intervals are different in different frames of reference. As a consequence, the quantity 'velocity' of classical mechanics splits into different quantities in Special Relativity, coordinate…
Many topics in introductory astronomy at the college or high-school level rely implicitly on using astronomical photographs and visual data in class. However, students bring many preconceptions to their understanding of these materials that…
Special Relativity is often seen as a conceptually difficult topic, which in turn is difficult to effectively teach. This work focuses on the role of visualizations as a tool in teaching Special Relativity at the secondary or university…
Modern astronomy increasingly depends on computational thinking. Although some astronomy courses for undergraduates use computing, high school astronomy courses often have little computing. Created as a part of a research experience for…
We describe a new inquiry design aimed at teaching advanced high-school to senior college students the basics of stellar populations. The inquiry is designed to have students come up with their own version of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram…
The central theme of this thesis is the study and analysis of black hole mimickers. The concept of a black hole mimicker is introduced, and various mimicker spacetime models are examined within the framework of classical general relativity.…
A spherically symmetric space-time solution for a diffusive two measures theory is studied. An asymmetric wormhole geometry is obtained where the metric coefficients have a linear term for galactic distances and the analysis of Mannheim and…
In this short review we present some recently obtained traversable wormhole models in the framework of general relativity (GR) in four and six dimensions that somehow widen our common ideas on wormhole existence and properties. These are,…
