We provide a simple but very useful description of the process of wormhole formation. We place two massive objects in two parallel universes (modeled by two branes). Gravitational attraction between the objects competes with the resistance coming from the brane tension. For sufficiently strong attraction, the branes are deformed, objects touch and a wormhole is formed. Our calculations show that more massive and compact objects are more likely to fulfill the conditions for wormhole formation. This implies that we should be looking for wormholes either in the background of black holes and compact stars, or massive microscopic relics. Our formation mechanism applies equally well for a wormhole connecting two objects in the same universe.

  1. Black bounces to traversable wormholes from pure gravity in four and higher dimensions

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Any static spherically symmetric wormhole or black bounce with a single integration constant can be made the unique vacuum solution of some specially constructed higher-dimensional pure-metric gravity theory.

  2. Thin-Shell Wormholes from Entropy-Induced Black-Hole Geometries

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Wormhole throats constructed from entropy-induced black-hole metrics always have negative surface energy; constant-barotropic shells are linearly unstable, while variable Chaplygin shells can be stable.
