Abstract: We review a new concept of wormholes. We classify the wormholes into three categories: static, space-like, and time-like, and discuss the properties of each category. The relation between wormholes and black holes is examined. The astrophysical properties of wormholes are investigated.

Keywords: wormholes, Einstein's general theory of relativity, Multiverse.
