How did Einstein's theory of relativity change the perception of space?
- By showing space as a flat stage affected by objects on it (correct)
- By suggesting that space is unrelated to time
- By revealing space as a two-dimensional structure
- By proving that space is a static entity unaffected by gravity

Study Notes
- Wormholes appear spherical and can provide a window to a faraway place when light passes through.
- Einstein's theory of relativity changed the perception of space as a flat stage, showing it as a dynamic entity affected by objects on it.
- Wormholes could be possible through the bending and warping of space, theoretically allowing for faster-than-light travel.
- Einstein-Rosen Bridges were the first theorized wormholes, connecting black holes to parallel universes with the concept of white holes.
- Traversable Wormholes, a different kind of wormhole needed for human travel, may exist if string theory is accurate.
- Man-made wormholes would require exotic matter to keep them open and stable, as gravity tends to close them.
- The vacuum of space may contain exotic matter needed to stabilize wormholes, potentially enabling interstellar human civilization.
