That's very true, but the problem is the mathematics involved to actually create a worm hole or a hyperspace gate. And even if you do figure it out, the power out put to create it would be mind blowing. But once again that to can be solved, but then here is another problem which is sustaining a worm hole/hyperspace gate. Sending something through would cause it to be incredibly unstable, collapsing on said space craft, ripping it in half. Well your almost there. Say that you can create all of this, the machine to create it, the power source to sustain it, some device to keep it stable to travel through, but here is yet another problem... How the hell would you direct it to get to where you need to be? How would you guide it to spit you out at the right spot with out getting lost? This last one I have an idea, and that would involve creating a worm hole/hyperspace gate. An actual mechanical gate in ring shape large enough to send an object the size of a space ship through. But the thing is you need two of these. One at point A and the other at point B. Just like in Stargate but much bigger.
