*Neil deGrasse Tyson says one wild sci-fi discovery would completely change the global economy*

The popularized fictional portrayal of a wormhole — prominently featured in "Interstellar" — doesn't quite match up to the theoretical reality. Though there is currently no evidence that wormholes, unlike black holes, exist, there is a relatively straightforward theory around their possibility. That theory begins, according to astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, with a simple fact: space and time are intricately and forever conjoined with one another in a kind of fabric. A wormhole involves the warping of that fabric which results in the distortion of space and time. Related: Neil deGrasse Tyson Has a Genius Theory About Alien Life on Earth This is often visualized by picturing the Universe laid out on a flat sheet of paper. Traveling from one end to the other could take innumerable years, but folding the paper in half (warping the fabric) would make those two points suddenly very close to one another. If that folded paper could then be punctured, people could theoretically distort the fabric of space and time to instantaneously reach a distant location. If space and time could be folded (warped) and punctured, travel to any destination in the Universe would be immediate. Shutterstock If such a wormhole were to exist, Tyson said on a recent episode of his podcast StarTalk, "You can have a hole that you pass through and just come out the other side." The reality of this scientific theory, he added, is one that looks much more like the portals in "Doctor Strange" than it does the long, star-studded tunnels featured in other movies. The best example of a practical wormhole, he said, is represented by the doors in "Monsters Inc." "While they never said it in 'Monster's Inc.,' those are wormholes. Period," he said. Things to do with wormholesRelated: Neil DeGrasse Tyson shares an eye-opening take on recent alien findings As with any transformative new technology, the ability to access and even control wormholes would dramatically change the way global society functions, reimagining and restructuring the world's economy. In a hypothetical scenario where humans have access to and control over wormholes, DoorDash and GrubHub become a thing of the past. As would airplanes. And trains. And cars. "Imagine if the back of your refrigerator were connected to your grocer," Tyson said. "There is no transportation network involved. What that ends up doing is completely removing the transportation sector of the world." Highways, cars, planes, airports and ships would no longer need to exist. Travel would be instantaneous, for everyone, all the time. "This is a readjustment to the economy," Tyson said. "That's happened many times before. Nobody's making horse-drawn carriages anymore. The entire transportation sector would go out of business basically overnight. It's a fascinating reality." Get investment guidance from trusted portfolio managers without the management fees.

*Tesla and EV makers face fresh headwind from China*

TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets open for trading Friday, October 20. Full Video Transcript Below: I’m J.D. Durkin - reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Here’s what we’re watching on TheStreet today. Markets are looking to rebound after the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 all finished in the red on Thursday. The dips came on the heels of federal reserve chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Economic Club of New York. Powell said inflation was still too high, but the central bank would would be “resolute” in hitting its goal of 2 percent. Powell added, “a range of uncertainties, both old and new, complicate our task of balancing the risk of tightening monetary policy too much against the risk of tightening too little.” Meanwhile, China has released plans to restrict exports of graphite. Graphite is critically important to the manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles. The move comes just days after the United States announced it would be imposing additional restrictions on the kinds of semiconductors that U.S. companies can sell to Chinese organizations. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, demand for graphite used in EV batteries has skyrocketed by 250 percent since 2018 - and China is the global leader for graphite production, accounting for 65% of the world's total in 2022. Sales of electric vehicles are booming, according to the international energy agency. EV sales have increased substantially over the past few years. 10 million electric vehicles were sold around the globe in 2022, a 55 percent increase from 2021. The agency estimates around 14 million will be sold in 2023. That’ll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m j.D. Durkin with TheStreet.

*Single Best Trade: Hedge fund manager Doug Kass gives his top contrarian pick*

Finding investments deserving of your hard-earned cash is a challenge. There are thousands of publicly traded companies, exchange-traded funds, and bonds to choose from, and knowing when it's the right time to buy makes picking an idea even harder. In a bid to help, professional investors are sharing their single best trade idea with TheStreet. Related: Single Best Trade: Portfolio manager at firm managing $7 billion shares favorite tech stock While everyone's crystal ball is hazy and plenty can go wrong with even the best investment thesis, professional investors have years of experience and resources Main Street investors only dream about. In this latest edition of Single Best Trade, Doug Kass shares his most compelling pick now. Kass has seen a thing or two over his nearly fifty-year career. He's navigated more than his fair share of bull and bear markets, and having experienced runaway inflation first-hand in the 1970s, he's uniquely positioned to maneuver headwinds associated with sticky inflation, economic uncertainty, and strife in the Middle East. His career, which stretches back to working for the global money manager Putnam Investments in the 1970s, includes serving as Senior Portfolio Manager at Omega Advisors, one of the world's largest and most successful hedge funds. Nowadays, Kass is the portfolio manager for Seabreeze Partners, L.P., an active long/short hedge fund. In his daily trading diary, he also shares his daily buying and selling on Real Money Pro. A self-described contrarian with a calculator, Kass is most comfortable when he's going against the herd. You'll often find him buying when others are selling, so his single best trade now is perhaps unsurprising. Doug Kass's Single Best Trade. TheStreet What is your single best trade idea? My favorite trade is buying (TLT) - Get Free Report ($82.99 as of market open on Oct. 20). TLT is the bond ETF iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF | TLT. It comprises Treasury securities with an average effective duration of about sixteen years with a yield of approximately 5.06%. This ETF is liquid (average daily trading volume of 52 million shares and about $37 billion is managed by the Fund).Why do you like it? Interest rates have risen dramatically (from virtually zero) since March 2022, when the Federal Reserve began to tighten monetary policy and raise rates. That increase in rates has accelerated in the last two months, providing a good entry point. I currently view credit as more attractive than equities and I expect investors to continue to buy Treasuries, which are not volatile and provide a high absolute and relative return. In fact, at over five percent yield, this is nearly equivalent to the long-range return on stocks. Moreover, I expect the domestic economy to begin to experience decelerating growth and morph into a mild recession in the first half of next year. Interest rates should decline as the variable and lagged impact of tighter Fed policy should shortly be felt. Consumers should lead the economy lower — under the weight of a deteriorating jobs market, higher mortgage/consumer installment rates, and still elevated inflation. Finally, the geopolitical problems around the world could lead to a flight to safety - benefitting Treasuries by placing pressure on yields.What could go wrong? The economy may remain resilient.

*'Rough world out there': The government issues warning about traveling anywhere*

With active military conflicts sweeping wide swaths of more than one continent, the thought of international travel can sound scary to some people. There are news stories of ongoing evacuation efforts amid an escalating war between Israel and Hamas as well as tourists being brought home by sea on a cruise ship that Royal Caribbean (RCL) - Get Free Report volunteered for the effort.Related: Royal Caribbean cruise ship helps in key evacuation effort While the U.S. State Department had formerly issued travel advisories warning against all travel to neighboring countries like Lebanon, a new Oct. 19 notice urges Americans overseas to display "worldwide caution" no matter where they are. Shutterstock Government warns of 'increased tensions in various locations around the world' "Due to increased tensions in various locations around the world, the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests, the Department of State advises U.S. citizens overseas to exercise increased caution," the government agency said in a statement.

Such a far-reaching warning does not mean that the government is advising against any international travel but rather that it wants to give an additional reminder at a time of widespread global instability. On Oct. 17, the State Department raised its travel advisory for Lebanon to the highest Level Four "Do Not Travel" level. The four travel advisory levels that the U.S. issues to countries range from Level One's "exercise normal precautions" to the highest level reserved for countries with authoritarian governments and active military conflict — approximately 10% of the world's 195 countries are on the State Department's "Do Not Travel" list for those reasons.These are the other countries the State Department doesn't want you to visit "Do not travel to Lebanon due to the unpredictable security situation related to rocket, missile, and artillery exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah or other armed militant factions," the State Department says in the advisory. After Israel was attacked by the terrorist group Hamas and declared a state of war, the country has been under a Level Three "Reconsider Travel" advisory while Gaza and the West Bank are under Level Four. Other countries that have been under a longstanding "Do Not Travel" advisory include both Russia and Ukraine — after Russian troops crossed Ukraine's border in February 2022, the State Department has been warning against "arbitrary enforcement of local law" and "singling out U.S. citizens for detention" in the former and ongoing warfare in the latter. In May 2023, the State Department also raised its level for Jamaica and Colombia from "exercise increased caution" to "reconsider travel" over similar concerns around rising crime and a string of attacks related to gang violence.
