Now THAT is a fucking great piece of science journalism. I love Quanta Mag. This was a great read.

They are the ones who perpetuated this lie, and later after being called out they changed the title to holographic wormhole and now they are questioning it.

University experiment drama like this is similar to r/HobbyDrama, lol. I don't study wormholes, but this was an entertaining read.

This isn't really surprising, given the history of outrageous claims that have been used to push and similar "discoveries" in the past in the press.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Hanzo_The_Ninja:
About four months ago news about a breakthrough wormhole simulation made the news, however as per this submission a recent analysis of the data suggests it may have been misinterpretted:
> Now another group of physicists has analyzed the result and determined that, while the experiment may have produced something vaguely wormhole-like, it wasn’t really a holographic wormhole in any meaningful sense. In light of the new analysis, independent researchers are coming to doubt that the teleportation experiment has anything to do with gravity after all.
