Thread: Wormholes

What you think?

I think they can definately exist, but exotic matter does not occur naturally and we will have to manufacture it artificially through particle manipulation and such, but when we do we shall be able to create these Holes of Worms!

I think subatomic particles are enigmatic enough that we will be able to produce a few exotic matter particles at a time without much difficulty, even with particle accelerators roughly the same scale as LHC. But if we can do that, we should be able to open wormholes with large enough openings in space and time to let through whole photons. So this means we should easily be able to get instant telecommunication between distant planets by just building particle accelerators, which isn't too difficult.

But actual ships going through wormholes is probably impossible unless a new metric is discovered.

How does someone specify where the two openings of the wormhole are?

The metric shown in the video has a singularity at each opening. A better question would be, 'How do you address singularities?'. My guess would be that the singularities start as one and are then separated.

Clocks arent moved by time they are moved by space if theres no space a clock cant move

What is this supposed to mean?

If there's no time, a clock is useless. Contribute something to the discussion or don't take part.

I think his question was more along the lines of, how do we know what the opening of a wormhole looks like? If it even looks like anything.

No, most modern clocks run on batteries. They need space and time to exist in, not to be moved by.
