Might some Gamma Ray Bursts be an observable signature of natural wormholes

The extragalactic microlensing scenario for natural wormholes is examined. It is shown that the main features of wormhole lensing events upon the light of distant active galactic nuclei are similar to some types of already observed gamma ray bursts (GRBs). Using recent satellite data on GRBs, an upp...

Sumario:The extragalactic microlensing scenario for natural wormholes is examined. It is shown that the main features of wormhole lensing events upon the light of distant active galactic nuclei are similar to some types of already observed gamma ray bursts (GRBs). Using recent satellite data on GRBs, an upper limit to the negative mass density, O(10<sup>−36</sup>)g cm<sup>−3</sup> under the form of wormholelike objects is presented.
