	BBC NEWS \| Science/Nature \| Wormhole 'no use' for time travel
		According to one idea, a wormhole could be kept open by filling its throat, or the region around it, with an ingredient called exotic matter.
		Wormholes entirely governed by the laws of quantum mechanics, on the other hand, would likely transport their payloads to an undesired time and place.
		The underlying physics of wormholes was not in doubt, the researcher argued.

		Wormhole began in 1994 as an improvisational vehicle for the duo of percussionists Marcos Fernandes and Robert Montoya.
		As Wormhole Effect, the group released their eponymous debut CD (1997 Accretions) and the follow-up The Bastard Musicians of Mesmer (1998 Accretions).
		Wormhole Effect presents The Bastard Musicians of Mesmer, a special limited edition release that is both an entertaining and educational account, in two parts, of their explorations into the nature of space/time.

	Wormholes
		Wormholes may be possible on microscopic distances as a result of the quantum foam which allows particle/antiparticle pairs to leap into existence momentarily, then subsequently disappear.
		Wormholes are commonly postulated to exist at the centers of fl holes or between parallel universes with no other connections.
		However, the wormhole could not be traversed because the center of a fl hole is a singularity, a point of infinite spacetime curvature, where the gravity would also be infinite and all matter would be crushed to its most fundamental constituents.

	wormhole
		Wormholes arise as solutions to the equations of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
		However, a known property of wormholes is that they are highly unstable and would probably collapse instantly if even the tiniest amount of matter, such as a single photon, attempted to pass through them.
		In an effort to design a more benign environment for travelers using a wormhole, Matt Visser of Washington University in St. Louis conceived an arrangement in which the spacetime region of a wormhole mouth is flat (and thus force-free) but framed by struts of exotic matter that contain a region of very sharp curvature.

	Wormhole
		Wormholes connect two points in spacetime, which means that they would allow travel in time as well as in space.
		Wormholes known as Schwarzschild wormholes or Einstein-Rosen bridges are theoretical bridges between areas of space that are thought to be found in the center of a fl hole and white hole, joining two universes.
		In this version, the wormhole is the path connecting the real universe, and the parallel universe, which in the movie lasts from the jet engine crashing into the Darko family home until Halloween when the actual jet loses its engine to the wormhole, at which point the parallel universe collapses.

	Wormhole - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		If a wormhole was large enough, and stable enough, a starship (or other traveler) could enter one end and exit the other, thus shortening a journey.
		Wormholes and the possibility of using them for time travel had been recognized by human scientists since the 20th century.
		This wormhole was stable enough for long-term, two-way space travel between the Bajor system in the Alpha Quadrant and the Idran system in the Gamma Quadrant.

	Traversable Wormholes
		A wormhole could be constructed, according to Visser, by confining exotic matter to narrow regions to form the edges of three-dimensional volume, for example the edges of a cube.
		Wormholes are constrained by relativity to travel at sublight speeds and are time-dilated as per normal.
		Wormhole connections laid down by space probes enable a space-faring civilisation to remain a single economic entity, with all the social and material benefits that follow.

	Wormhole - SCIFIPEDIA
		A wormhole is one theoretical way to bypass the restriction of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity that no physical object can move faster than the speed of light.
		For practical purposes, it is desirable that a wormhole should be traversable, which is to say, it should remain open for at least long enough for an object to pass through it, and it should not subject an object passing through to tidal forces that would tear it apart.
		Wormholes have featured notably in the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where the space station of the title is situated at one end of a wormhole; and in the series Farscape, where a wormhole is used to send an astronaut to a distant part of the galaxy.

	Wormhole Manual
		If the data structures being sent through a wormhole contain pointers to other data, these pointers will be invalid on the opposite end of the wormhole because the two simulations are separate programs with separate memory spaces.
		Due to the method in which a network connection is formed, one end of the wormhole must be selected to be a client and the other a server.
		Where is the instance name of the wormhole, is the name of the host (computer) running the simulation with the server wormhole, and is the port on that host where the server is accepting connections.

	What is a Wormhole?
		Wormholes are popular in science fiction because they allow characters to travel great distances in short periods of time.
		In real life, wormholes probably do not exist, as they would require negative matter, an exotic substance that has never been observed and whose existence is not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.
		If one end of a wormhole were accelerated to close to the speed of light while another were stationary, a traveller entering into the stationary hole would emerge in the past from the accelerated hole.

	Wormhole Design and Physics
		Since it is difficult to keep the wormhole mouth open and only the negative energy of the framework permits it, one could say that the edges of the wormhole (space-time) are pulled taut over each face of the polyhedron (or bowed slightly inward) rather than bowing outward.
		Hence a non-supported wormhole would be spherical in shape (though brief in existence), but a supported one conforms to the shape of its support structure.
		In fact the wormhole is pulled taut over the polyhedron faces, but since it is only possible to see along light-rays in space- time, the effect is that the entire structure looks like a distorted polyhedron you can see the other side through..

	Wormhole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Artist's impression of a wormhole as seen by an observer crossing the event horizon of a Schwarzschild wormhole, which is similar to a Schwarzschild fl hole but with the singularity replaced by an unstable path to a white hole in another universe.
		Lorentzian wormholes are mainly studied in general relativity and semiclassical gravity while Euclidean wormholes are studied in particle physics.
		The possibility of traversable wormholes in general relativity was first demonstrated by Kip Thorne and his graduate student Mike Morris in a 1988 paper; for this reason the type of traversable wormhole they discovered, held open by a spherical shell of exotic matter, is referred to as a Morris-Thorne wormhole.

	Wormhole Summary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Wormholes known as Schwarzschild wormholes or Einstein-Rosen bridges are bridges between areas of space that can be modelled as vacuum solutions to the Einstein field equations by sticking a model of a fl hole and a model of a white hole together.
		Before the stability problems of Schwarzschild wormholes were apparent, it was proposed that quasars were white holes forming the ends of wormholes of this type.
		Wormholes are a popular feature of science fiction as they allow interstellar travel within human timescales.

		In principle, a wormhole can also make a "timelike" connection between one time and another in the same region of space, so that it becomes in effect a time machine, allowing communication and travel between the past and the future.
		If wormholes are to be used for FTL communication or transportation, the issue of stability is an extremely important one.
		In 1988 Michael Morris and Kip Thorne of Cal Tech showed that stable wormholes are possible after all, and they described how a stable wormhole might be constructed by an "advanced civilization" (i.e., not us.) They found that to stabilize a wormhole, a region of negative mass-energy was needed in the wormhole's "throat".

	BBC - Science & Nature - Space - Wormholes
		Wormholes are a possible consequence of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.
		Theoretically, a wormhole could be formed when two or more massive bodies warp space and the fabric of space collides, forming a tunnel between distant places.
		What's more, by doing this you are effectively travelling faster than the speed of light, and so by passing through a wormhole and back you could travel into the future.

		One of the basic ideas of how to do it is that there are fantastically minute wormholes that are forming and decaying all the time at the quantum level, and the idea is to grab one of those and keep it permanently open.
		What the walls of the wormhole would be is deeply mysterious.
		And that would be true even as you emerged out of the wormhole near the star B. You would see in space a kind of fl sphere, in which would be an image of the place you had left on Earth, just floating in the flness of space.
