Wormholes don't exist because the only way they would exist is if they were seeded with exotic material created by an intelligence far beyond our own. Something would have to make one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Wormholes are a gravitational phenomena. Or imaginary gravitational phenomena, as the case may be.
Some scientists think it may be possible to capture a wormhole and enlarge it many trillions of times to make it big enough for a human or even a spaceship to enter.
We see no objects in our universe that could become wormholes as they age.
If you have a wormhole, then you can turn them into time machines for going backward in time.
It was quite a surprise when I realized that with a single wormhole you could have time hook up towards the future or towards the past and that you can actually manipulate the wormhole and change how time hooked up.
The energy necessary to create a wormhole or to wrap time into nuts is incredible. It's not for us. It's maybe for our descendants who have mastered the energy of this technology. So if one day, somebody knocks on your door and claims to be your great great great great granddaughter, don't slam the door.
We don't know how to identify intelligence over interstellar distances, so what we do instead is use technology for a proxy.
The message is not so much that the worms will inherit the Earth, but that all things play a role in nature, even the lowly worm.
It's hard to know which stars in the sky will turn into black holes. And which ones will open up worm holes into entire new universes.
I became interested in this question of whether you can build wormholes for interstellar travel. I realized that if you had a wormhole, the theory of general relativity by itself would permit you to go backward in time.
