• It is entirely possible for a stable wormhole to open up in front of you as you are driving to work and you won’t even necessarily see it until it’s too late and the hole closes. But the odds of it taking you somewhere you can survive are just as improbable as the wormhole opening in the first place.

    Sometimes I like to think that people who have vanished without a trace stepped through a wormhole like this and are just corpses floating in the void of space now.

      Wormholes that transfer information faster than light are currently thought to be impossible. So saying it’s possible at all is a bit of a stretch.
