On the Status of Wormholes in Einstein’s Theory: An Overview

It has been claimed that wormholes are just as good a prediction of Einstein’s theory as black holes, but they are subject to severe restrictions from quantum field theory. The purpose of this paper is to show that the claim can be substantiated in spite of these restrictions.
