Space Wormhole (Einstein-Rosen bridge)

thingiverse

The project represents a wormhole or Einstein-Rosen bridge in a way that's easy for people to visualize; it will be brought into the physical world to help us understand it better, and it will also be connected to augmented reality through software and plug-ins like Ar-media products or any other AR software that can use 3D models as triggers. How I Designed This I created the model using Autodesk 3ds Max. It was made by combining basic shapes in a low-poly style, which were then smoothed out for a more realistic look. Project: Space Wormhole (Einstein-Rosen Bridge) Objectives The goal of this project is to help people understand complex things better through hands-on interaction. Audiences High school students and higher-level learners are the main target audience, but it would be great to engage middle school students as well. They might find the complexity and beauty of the universe inspiring. Preparation Students need a basic understanding of how the universe works, including its fabric, before they can fully appreciate this project. It's also helpful if they have access to smart-phones with AR apps installed, ideally one per two students. The construction of the model and implementation of AR should be guided by a teacher. Steps The focus is on making an abstract concept like the wormhole tangible and interactive. By providing multiple ways for users to engage with the same information, we can increase their understanding (for example, video ads often combine images, sounds, and text). The first step involves creating a 3D model of the wormhole using any 3D software and exporting it as .stl for 3D printing. The second step is to implement AR content on the print, which can be done simultaneously with printing or after. Results By sharing the 3D model on Thingiverse, students only need to add AR content to make it interactive. However, it would be great to apply this workflow and structure to other classes and themes, encouraging students to create their own projects. This experience will help them learn more about theoretical phenomena that are no longer impossible with recent discoveries.
