General Relativistic Wormhole Connections from Planck-Scales and the ER = EPR Conjecture.

Einstein's equations of general relativity (GR) can describe the connection between events within a given hypervolume of size larger than the Planck length L P in terms of wormhole connections where metric fluctuations give rise to an indetermination relationship that involves the Riemann curvature tensor. At low energies (when L ≫ L P ), these connections behave like an exchange of a virtual graviton with wavelength λ G = L as if gravitation were an emergent physical property. Down to Planck scales, wormholes avoid the gravitational collapse and any superposition of events or space-times become indistinguishable. These properties of Einstein's equations can find connections with the novel picture of quantum gravity (QG) known as the "Einstein-Rosen (ER) = Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR)" (ER = EPR) conjecture proposed by Susskind and Maldacena in Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space-times in their equivalence with conformal field theories (CFTs). In this scenario, non-traversable wormhole connections of two or more distant events in space-time through Einstein-Rosen (ER) wormholes that are solutions of the equations of GR, are supposed to be equivalent to events connected with non-local Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) entangled states that instead belong to the language of quantum mechanics. Our findings suggest that if the ER = EPR conjecture is valid, it can be extended to other different types of space-times and that gravity and space-time could be emergent physical quantities if the exchange of a virtual graviton between events can be considered connected by ER wormholes equivalent to entanglement connections.
