5 CHAPTER 5 12th July 2040

"Your prediction was absolutely correct sir. Those were the coordinates if the Bermuda triangle." I said to Prof. Zayn. We stood against the screen which displayed the coordinates.

Professor nodded.

"Sir! What does that mean? What should we do now?" Fransis asked, and looked towards our faces. The rest of the team stood behind having no idea what was going on.

"Henrey!" Professor called me out and said, "We have to go there."

I rose my eyebrows upwards and said, "Sir? I don't think that you're serious. You want to go there? The pilot is not even sure... And if he's right, than we will travel to the future and maybe we won't be able to return."

"Yes! Yes! I know... But don't you know that by a single wormhole, one can travel back in time as well as to the future?" Zayn exclaimed.

"But How?" Fransis asked.

Professor smiled went to the screen and started displaying a picture and said, "A wormhole is a speculative structure linking disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations."

Everyone in the room looked confused. I knew, none of them was getting a shit. Prof. Zayn smiled and continued, he started displaying something for a simplified notion of a wormhole. He displayed a plane sheet of paper, and started speaking, "Another way to imagine wormholes is to take a sheet of paper and draw two somewhat distant points on one side of the paper. The sheet of paper represents a plane in the spacetime continuum."

He started folding the paper, marked two points in it, and continued, "These two points represent a distance to be traveled, but theoretically a wormhole could connect these two points by folding that plane so the points are touching. In this way it would be much easier to traverse the distance since the two points are now touching."
