Would objects interact via gravity through the wormhole? Let's say there's a star outside one wormhole, and a planet outside the other, would the star pull the planet through the wormhole?

Wormholes are theoretical structures that are formed by the bending of spacetime. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, massive objects can create a curvature in spacetime. If this curvature becomes extreme, it can create a tunnel-like structure that connects two distant points in spacetime.
The concept of using wormholes for time travel is still a topic of debate among scientists. While some theories suggest that it may be possible, it is currently not supported by any scientific evidence. Additionally, even if it were possible, the immense amount of energy required to manipulate wormholes would make it practically impossible.
Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass. In the case of a star and a planet, the star's massive size creates a strong gravitational force that pulls the planet towards it. This force is what keeps the planet in orbit around the star.
No, a star cannot pull a planet into a wormhole. While a star's gravitational force is strong, it is not strong enough to create a wormhole or manipulate one. Wormholes are formed by the extreme curvature of spacetime, which is not affected by the gravitational pull of a single object.
Yes, it is possible for a planet to escape the gravitational pull of a star. This can happen in two ways - either the planet gains enough speed to break free from the star's gravitational pull, or the star loses its mass and becomes less massive, resulting in a weaker gravitational force. However, in most cases, a planet will remain in orbit around its star due to the balance between the gravitational force and the planet's own velocity.
