We’ve all seen sci-fi movies that show people traveling across deep space at a moment’s notice. Usually, those spaceships make use of a jump to lightspeed, hyperspace or even some way of jumping across space with ease. Well now, a team of scientists from the UK has outlined a way to create wormholes that might let us one day hop across the cosmos in this way.

According to a report from Vice, researchers from the University of Bristol’s Quantum Engineering Technology Labs in the UK have “proposed a mind-blowing experiment that could potentially create the first-ever traversable wormhole.”

Hopping through the wormhole would allow people to effectively teleport from one side of space to another. But the team of researchers, led by Hatim Salih, a quantum physicist and honorary research fellow at the university, don’t call this method of travel “teleportation.” Instead, it’s known as “counterportation,” as Vice explains:
