Simulation of giant tidal force of wormhole using curved optical spaces
Runqiu He, Guo-Hua Liang, Shining Zhu, Hui Liu
Abstract
The authors realize a flexible optical experiment system to simulate a wormhole by applying a two dimensional embedded curved waveguide. By observing the beam propagation in the waveguide, they demonstrate a strong gravitational effect on wavepackets around a wormhole and study the onset of a tidal force effect
