Abstract:
This article examines static spherically symmetric wormhole (WH) solutions in theory of gravity where Q represents non-metricity (NM) scalar while T is the trace of the stress-energy tensor. An anisotropic fluid configuration is taken into account to fulfill the task along with the linear form of the model. For two different choices of the redshift function that are constant, and for the shape functions, , we construct the corresponding WH solutions. We examine the graphical behavior of the chosen shape functions and analyze all necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of WH. We investigate the stability of obtained solutions and analyze how the energy conditions behave. We found that the null energy condition (NEC) is violated in a few regions of spacetime which shows the existence of traversable WHs in these regions. It is concluded that our results are viable for the positive values of theory parameters and within a range (the parameter of the shape function).

This has been verified in many experiments. However, space and time are no longer absolute. Two observers moving relative to one another do not agree on the length of objects or the passage of time. The mechanics of objects based on Newton's laws of...
Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
Schwarzschild Radius and Event Horizon
The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...
