Wormholes are theoretical, not "very real".



A theory is a working model involving an hypothesis. Theories aren't "proven"; they're continually tested and held as accurate while there is failure to disprove.

And let me get this one right: Because Einstein's work (indirectly) led to the creation of the atomic bomb, that somehow means his General Theory of Relativity is wrong and should be discarded?



An uninformed nerd from where I'm sat.

Sorry if any of this has offended you.

it doesnt offend me at all. worm holes are REAL, though they only exist for a brief period of time, i was trying to say that in THEORY one would be able to travel trough one, not that their existence is theoretical.

about the straght line analogy. it would appear to be straight if u were veiwing it from a a higher dimension. since we cant DO THAT YET; it would appear curved from our perspective.

i never said that shit about his theory needing to be discarded. i have no idea how u even reached that conclusion.

and the word wouldnt be "uninformed", it would be "misinformed", if that were the case.
