Wormholes

[DoctorWh0?]

To start off( if you know what a wormhole is, skip this) a wormhole is a theoretical way to bend space-time so that you could travel from point x to point y by making the distance shorter and then taking a small jump across. Imagine a sheet of paper and you cant get from one end to the other because it takes to long. Instead, you fold the sheet( representing space-time) and poke a hole through, thus getting to the other side . The physics are complicated, and I myself don't understand them very well, so I am not going to dive in that here.

What a wormhole probably looks like( from Interstellar). http://thumbs.media.smithsonianmag.com/filer/de/f4/def4bfe3-a912-4ba3-b673-1a4e751fc38f/wormhole.jpg__800x450_q85_crop_upscale.jpg

Wormholes in Us2 would work like this in my mind: you select the wormhole, right click one point on the grid, right click a second point, and then you have a wormhole. If you fired an object into it, you would see space-time curving around, and then emitting the object from the other side. If you were standing on the object, you would see this: http://i.imgur.com/DgD4TEn.gif again a courtesy of Interstellar.

Anyway this is just an idea I had.  Prairie dog stares at ya.

The physics are complicated because wormholes are not proven to exist in reality

But it is predicted in Einsteins field equations. So they probably exist somewhere, we just don't know how to recognize it.

he called gravitational waves and years after his death we see his prediction become a reality however.Without evidence we must remain Skeptical? white holes would also be something new to play with

I like this idea, hope to see it there

That's like saying if I predicted it would be windy tomorrow, and it was, then someone else's prediction that Cthulhu will rise soon should also come true.

correlation =/= causation

[Darvince]

Except that we were just as skeptical about the existence of gravitational waves as well.

What's the difference between a black hole and a wormhole? Other than that a wormhole spits it out the other side.

black holes are an eternity sink while wormholes are a shortcut through time

[tesco]

Not time but through space. Faster than light travel is way better than time travel
