Worm holes?

Question

I think worm holes are a pretty interesting concept. Do you think humans will ever be able to create/control on and use it for time/instantaneous travel?

Answer 1

Maybe! Worm holes can be time machines as well as space machines. Thus you can go through a series of wormholes and end up wherever and whenever the wormholes are set up to take you (within limits).

Carl Sagan, when writing the book Contact, asked Kip Thorne (one of the world's leading relativists) how to transport a person to distant stars, have her come back to find that no time had passed on Earth (which is in both the book and the movie).

From this question, Kip Thorne revitalized the whole modern field of the study of wormholes, a field which had lain dormant for a few decades until Thorne figured out how to make a wormhole people could actually travel through.
