From the 4-dimensional perspective, the existence of higher dimensions may thus facilitate wormhole and time-machine constructions through access to "exotic matter".4 pagesGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyA note on 4-dimensional traversable wormholes and energy conditions in higher dimensionstext
