Wormholes, bridges, and more: The science behind Stranger Things season 5

Stranger Things Season 5 reinterprets the Upside Down as a wormhole, a theoretical spacetime bridge. While real wormholes face stability and energy challenges, science fiction, including this show, uses them for narrative convenience, enabling faster-than-light travel and interdimensional connections. This concept, rooted in Einstein's theories, allows for dramatic storytelling about reality's fragility.
