Wormholes are areas of negative energy that would fold space on itself allowing the transfer of objects between points instantaneously. Scientist have been able to make microscopic areas of negative energy but it would take a tremendous amount of energy to create a wormhole and we are not yet able to create large areas of negative energy. Maybe someday in the far future we will be able to reach the stars by using negative energy but right now it is just science fiction. Click on the following links for more information:

I guess you then know what the Theory of Relativity is By Einstein.
Space-time distortion is a property that has been measured many times. Einstein says that mass wraps around space as a result distorting it. NASA has to synchronize satellites to that of earths by making satellites in space ever slightly faster than of earths. This is because satellites are further away from earth, and even that short distance is enough to affect the level of distortion.
I Believe Einstein defiantly is on the right track with the theory of relativity, so when he continues on and comes up with E=mc^2 I also believe that the equation holds truth. Energy has just as much capability to distort space-time as mass does.
We've seen it all the time with the larger the mass the greater the distortion, and I’m a believer that energy can create just as much gravity as mass I cant even begin to think how much energy will have to be harvested to create a wormhole.
BBC(although at times they could be shady) says “No one knows whether wormholes exist let alone what would happen if you sent a spacecraft through them. If they do exist they could be very short-lived, and may not even survive long enough for a spacecraft to reach the other side. And if the spaceship did make it, its mass might cause the wormhole to snap shut, cutting the astronauts off for good.”
Is it possible? With what scientists have discovered I think the possibility is very real. The real question is, how, if theoretically we can, would we go about in creating one?
That’s what’s amazing about science, at some point, It all comes down to having faith.

First, get a worm. . .:)

Seriously, scientists don't know. The general thinking right now is that it might be possible in the foreseeable future to creat a quantum-level wormhole using some form of advanced particle accelerator. Whether or not anything beyond that is possible is anyone's guess a tthis time.

Wormholes are science fiction. I love these people that say "theoretically" it's possible. Yeah, and it's also theoretically possible that I can turn a petunia into an elephant. Some claims of possibility are simply absurd and not based on real understanding of the physics involved.

Yes it is in theory but you need basiically all the energy a star puts out in its lifetime all put together in an instant and even then, it'll be a few atoms across.

You would have to be able to manipulate masses on the scale of whole stars. For the foreseeable future that is *extremely* unlikely.

I guess in theory it would be possible, but in reality I highly doubt you would be able to harness the energy needed to do this.

You need one apple and a worm. Place the worm on the apple and it eats a hole in the apple. There you have a worm hole.
