Abstract:
In this presentation we shall investigate various numerical applications for a wormhole model proposed early in the 1970s by Homer Ellis [2]. This specific model has been used in the making of Christopher Nolan's motion picture, "Interstellar" (2014), a notable recent Sci-Fi movie. After a short introduction into general relativity, we consider various numerical simulations, discussing different theoretical aspects associated to wormholes. In the end of the presentation, we briefly discuss the obtained results, displaying a specific sequence from the picture itself.
