On a normal pool table, we have a series of pockets around a flat table. Suppose you replaced some of the pockets with wormholes in space. Never mind how much this pool table would cost, just suppose it was done. A pool ball could go in one pocket and come flying out of another one somewhere else on the table.
However, Einstein's theories allow for wormholes that move objects in both space and time. Suppose the pool ball re-emerged before it even went in. For a brief moment you have twice as many pool balls as before.
Suppose you angled your shot just right, and your poolball came out on another course and struck its past self so that neither of them entered the pocket. Doesn't that violate the law of conservation of matter? Would I get rich if I had a solid gold cue ball and good skills (double one, sell one of the dupilcates), repeat)? Just curious to see if there is an answer.

You have just provided irrevocable proof that wormholes cannot exist which lead back to the same universe.
Thanks, thats my entire carreer in theoretical physics out the windows.
You B*stard!

Einstein said that God doesn't play with dice but he said nothing about pool?
Think we can get him in a game of snooker with wormholes wild?

Hi. Hypothetically, if you could double your gold billiard balls ad infinitum you might still not be able to afford the table.
