Ah, yes. Wormholes. Theoretical tubes that connect two black holes. They also may contain giant space worms that feed on anything they can get their mandibles on. There's only one way to find out, after all.
What in tarnation are wormholes?
To talk scientifically, wormholes are theoretical passages across space-time that link two interconnecting black holes. These wormholes (also known as Einstein-Rosen bridges) could be used as shortcuts between two otherwise-huge distances, such as from arm to arm in a spiral galaxy, or even cross-galaxy(not being implemented) or cross-universe(don't even think about it) travel. They're cool, ok? But there is one tiny (huge) problem-stability. Wormholes are microscopic. Otherwise we would see them more clear than a polished diamond. As the universe expanded, it is only logical that wormholes will have been stretched and, therefore, more feeble and unstable. To quote space.com(the site I used to double-check my wormhole knowledge), "The predicted Einstein-Rosen wormholes would be useless for travel because they collapse quickly.". But there is a workaround thanks to recent scientific research. It turns out that there is such a thing as exotic matter, which is negative energy density and a large negative pressure. Basically, more negative than a pessimist society. This would somewhat stabilise the wormhole, and therefore allow safe passage. However, yet another catch is that there could be enough normal matter to counteract the exotic matter again, therefore destabilising the wormhole once more. It has been argued that it could be used for time travel, but Stephen Hawking (British Cosmologist) and Eric Christian (NASA employee) have said no, so it's unlikely knowing those two and their intelligence.
They are, most importantly, cool.
How would they be implemented as accurately as possible? (Well-thought about guess)
I think that the best way to implement them and make them an accurate depiction is to firstly have a technology which is unlocked whenever you discover exotic matter to find a way to harness it to stabilise a wormhole long enough to travel through it. Once this is researched, you can go in relatively safely. However, there is a random (albeit low based on the amount of exotic matter put in) chance that the wormhole destabilises once more and crushes you. So basically, it's not the safest mode of travel, but if you're feeling lucky you can go in and save a lot of travel time based on if you survive or not. Big risk, big benefits. It could also be where it takes you closer or further away from where you want to go (if you're using it in hope of finding a shortcut to wherever you wish to go), so it could lead you the wrong direction. It could also take you into a no-go zone where you are torn apart by giant space worms. Who knows.
Where would you get exotic matter?
To quote the amazing space.com once more, "Such matter has only been seen in the behaviour of certain vacuum states as part of quantum field theory.". So, basically, there would be designated pockets of space where exotic matter is present, meaning you have to find a considerably rare resource to travel through wormholes, which in turn could get you killed or isolated. Sounds fun, doesn't it? Especially if it happens to your friend, and you have something to laugh about. Or it happens to you, and your friend has something to laugh about. Friends are there for each other, after all. It could also happen to a big youtuber, and thousands (if not millions) of people have something to laugh about. Fun for the whole family! Except the people who don't understand physics.
What's your overall opinion, Solwagon the dooter?
Overall, I think this could be an interesting asset to the space stage, and could totally add some good old decision making into the mix. It could also allow an extremely widespread empire with footholds all across the galaxy. Yes, spore did it. But Spore gave you an key and said "have fun", allowing perfectly safe travel through wormholes without any scientific accuracy on wherever it's safe or not because spore is unrealistic in a lot of aspects and does not give a Belgium about scientific accuracy. Thanks, EA. Go back to your FIFA games.
Yes, I called myself Solwagon the dooter.
Yes, I suggest a lot of things but there's so many possibilitiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeessss
Fun times!!!
