DIA Report Explores Traversable Wormholes and 'Stargates' as Future Propulsion

A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency report from 2010 examines the physics of traversable wormholes and 'stargates,' concluding that such exotic spacetime geometries would require negative energy, but that the concept is not ruled out by general relativity.

DIA Study Examines Wormholes and Stargates for Propulsion

In 2010, Its stated purpose is to assess potential acquisition threats posed by advanced aerospace technologies, yet its content is purely theoretical physics, exploring the feasibility of faster-than-light travel through traversable wormholes and the exotic matter required to sustain them. The report traces the concept of traversable wormholes to a 1985 academic exercise by CalTech physicists M. Morris and K.

Thorne, who responded to Carl Sagan's request for a scientifically plausible means of interstellar travel for his novel Contact. Building on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, they demonstrated that wormholes—hyperspace tunnels connecting remote regions of spacetime—could, in principle, be traversable, unlike the non-traversable Einstein-Rosen bridges associated with black holes. The DIA document extends this work to examine a special class of wormhole solutions known as "stargates," which feature flat entry and exit openings and simpler physics.

The central thesis is that constructing such traversable wormholes requires "exotic" matter possessing negative…
