    I wish I knew more about worm holes. I used to find the whole idea of mankind moving out into space very exciting and romantic... that was until I found out that even moving at the speed of light, it would take a lifetime to reach the nearest star outside our solar system.

    I don't know if wormholes are possible, but you have to admit. Doesn't it all sound so cool!! ^^

    (That is so long as they are gateways through space, not through time or dimensions becasue that would just get confusing)

    Hmmm... He's not technically human, so it wouldn't really be like cannibalism...

    I do watch Stargate on occasion. A fairly good show, but if we ever developed a deep understanding of worm holes, I doubt we'd be able to build teleportation gates out of them. Though through the understanding of worm holes, we may begin to develop technology to build teleportation devices.
    Dreams come true, but nightmares do too.

    Life isn't a game, it's just a referal to the time you exist on this playground called Earth.

    Considering the theoretical size of a wormhole I find it unlikely we'll ever use them. By the time our technology would be significantly advanced enough to stabalize and use them we would be perfectly able to travel through space/dimension/time using other techniques that wouldn't require us to muck about with forces on par with a black hole.

    IMHO


    PS. It is fun to theorize about though, isn't it?

    we gotta get to mars before we worry about the traveling use of worm holes. humans have done the impossible before, so I have no doubts we'll discover the traveling use of worm holes. Of course it might not happen until our children's children' children's children's...it'll go on awhile.

    Consider the hole to be somewhat a sort of little hole that suks everything up...even if im wrong...the hole would still force u to another speed at a speed beyond reach at the time....and then u jus might run into a star or some planet and get splattered to bits from the speed which u travel plus the fact that ur burning from friction from the air against u

    Actually your confusing wormholes with black/whiteholes. Common mistake. I almost made it.

    Looking at current known facts about it, and theories behind time & space, it's really hard to find a concrete answer to any question regarding space phenomena. Just look at theory behind time travel. Personally I don't think it's possible scientifically, but I can't prove that. But look, we measure time, by events going on, and that had gone by, we use events that had occured as reference to the "past", time is an event we measure by the rotation of the earth and revolution around the sun.

    Let's say if we wanted to time travel, could you physically go back and re-live last winter? Is it possible to physically bring back the earth to it's state back when? I don't know, I can't give a definite answer, BUT, according to theories out there, and to what I'm thinking, you CAN see what happened back then. We see everything right now, because of light. The things we see now are (theoretically) what light hits. This light is 8 minutes old (approximately). Okay, keeping this in mind, when we look at distant stars/planets, they say we are seeing the past right? Because the light that refracts off those planets takes a certain amount of time to travel from wherever in space they are, to us. This is due to the speed of light. Now, keeping both those in mind, let's say we were theoretically able to go faster than the speed of light, (theoretically) if we beat the light that reached the earth and went ahead and looked back, we would be able to see events that ahd already occured. Now how does this affect us on earth? It doesn't, that event of a person seeing what happened is totally independant to what's currently going on on the surface of the planet, where that event had come and gone. Now as for seeing where that person is?

    Theoretically, it would be impossible for us to track him down, since he is no longer in our "time". He has gone ahead of the speed of light, and out of our time. What does this mean? Our light, our (present) light, is slower than he is and cannot reach him, thus we are not able to consciously place him in time & space.

    How does this related to wormholes?

    It's another theory in space exploration. Could we possibly enter a tear in space? A fabric that contains (theoretically) a certain amount of atoms per who knows how much volume of empty space, but I do remember that the ratio is quite small. Now the question would be is it possible to tear a hole through pratically nothing? Possibly, it's not scientifically proven or disproven, so a tear in space could possibly happen. Now using it to end up somewhere distant in space? Who knows? If we were to use wormholes to our advantage, we would have to learn how to create tears first. If you end up in a wormhole, who says that there is another tear somewhere else in space? Who says it's not just a one-way tear in space? For that matter, we would have to do some exploring and then figure out how to proceed.

    Does speed increase, decrease, or stop in a wormhole? Theoretically, neither, time as we know it should progress at normal speed. As we says, a wormhole is a tear, and not a mass on it's own, unlike a blackhole, who's mass/volume ratio is so big that it creates a pull, that light can't even escape. So the fact that wormholes might be fast shortcuts through space? Doubtful, but possible nonetheless. If you consider the fact that space could theoretically be in any shape or form, if a tear would lead to a distant area of space, unkown to man, then we could theoretically shape a picture of space more clearly.

    Theories can go on and on, I think about these types of things everyday. Very interesting topic though. I don't think that we will figure out any definite answers in my lifetime or anytime within the next century. Who knows though, maybe some super-genious will figure it out, or possibly someone like you and me?

    Some time, somewhere, something or someone will give us the answer to this ...
