The Maldacena–Susskind ER = EPR conjecture proposes that a maximally entangled pair of systems (an "EPR pair") is dual to an Einstein–Rosen bridge — a wormhole — connecting them in the bulk geometry. Each of the N sliders' Bell pairs is one unit of shared entanglement, geometrized with the Ryu–Takayanagi entropy–area relation:
S = A / (4 G) => A = 4 G S, r = sqrt(A / 4*pi)
Each Bell pair contributes exactly 1 bit of entanglement entropy, so S = N bits. The bulk coupling G is a schematic stand-in for Newton's constant — turning it up lets the same entropy support a fatter throat.
The main view is a genuine 2D embedding diagram — the classic way this exact geometry is drawn in general relativity texts (a Flamm-paraboloid-style throat profile), not a flattened screenshot of a 3D scene: the throat is a real 2D curve whose local thickness is the throat radius r, sampled and rendered as a ribbon with true surface normals.
- + Entangle a pair / Measure a pair — grows or destroys shared entanglement, shown live in the network panel. Measuring a pair collapses it, entropy drops by 1 bit, and the throat visibly narrows; at S = 0 the two mouths pinch apart completely — no wormhole, no entanglement.
- Mouth separation — moves the two mouths apart in ordinary ambient space (dashed line) without touching the throat's interior curve. This is the conjecture's central, counter-intuitive claim: interior length is set by entanglement structure, not by ambient distance.
- Send probe through throat — the throat is classically non-traversable: the probe stalls and is reflected before crossing, consistent with focusing theorems and the no-signaling theorem (no faster-than-light communication, exactly as with ordinary quantum teleportation).
- Drag the main diagram to pan, scroll/pinch to zoom; the entanglement network and the S–A–r curve update every frame from the same state.
This is a pedagogical, dimensionally-schematic model of an active but unconfirmed conjecture in quantum gravity (holography / AdS-CFT), not a claim that spatial teleportation of macroscopic matter is achievable.
