Visualization of the curved spacetime of a Morris-Thorn wormhole in a sector model — •Rahel Gabriel — Universität Hildesheim

Sector models, based on Regge calculus, provide an intuitive way to visualize curved spacetimes in general relativity using locally flat sectors. Curvature is encoded at sector boundaries through deficit or excess angles, and geodesics are constructed as straight lines that continue across sector boundaries. This framework is used to explore the topology and phenomenology of hypothetical Morris-Thorn wormholes in an interactive simulation.
