Ever wondered what a wormhole looks like close-up, or from the inside? Ever wondered what would happen if you went inside a wormhole and tried to just go out through the side instead of the other opening? Ever wanted your head to hurt on demand?

Scott Manley did a video that will help with any of those.

Ray-tracing done according to the equations. There are many solutions for different wormholes -- mathematical solutions, not engineering solutions. What the math tells you happens to space tells you what happens to light.

Possibly he didn't exist in this universe and this is himself after coming to our universe to test the multiverse theory, I wonder if he came from universe where humans elect ideas as world leaders?

It's not so much about *what* is shown, but *how* it is shown. He actually uses nebulae-backgrounds from EVE Online :D
