Can electromagnetic waves traverse wormholes?

[GatherEvidence]

Hello I'm new to this forum and interested in astrophysics and metaphysics. My first question here is if we can create nano sized wormholes to send information faster than light to other stars for example. We don't need to travel if we could send small satellites or even just radiowaves to the stars out there. Wouldnt we be able to eventually reach alien civilizations out there?

We can't create wormholes full stop.

As far as we're aware wormholes require exotic matter which has never been observed and doesn't exist as far as we know. For wormholes, in short, I'm afraid relativity takes "you can't do that" and turns it into "you could do that if you could do something impossible first".

I've came across some articles stating scientists have created wormholes in the lab.
Nevertheless my question was different.

Where? They're either rubbish or you are misunderstanding something.

How so? Your question as far as I can see started with "if we can create nano sized wormholes". We can't. So we can't reach alien civilizations that way. Did I miss something in your OP?

Welcome to PF.

No, whether or not wormholes exist, information cannot propagate faster than light.

We have sent small machines into interstellar space.

As of 2022, the Voyagers are still in operation past the outer boundary of the heliosphere in interstellar space.

Astrophysicists have advanced some arguments on the probabilities of detecting extraterrestrial radio using life within our galaxy. We passively search for ET intelligence.

The Drake equation is a probabilistic argument used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy.[1][2]

No you didn't. If you give us a reference, we might be able to tell you what you did read.

In any event, a wormhole will collapse on itself before light can traverse it.

I suspect that the reference is this one or another source for the same story. https://weirdnews.info/2021/05/01/w...es-of-faster-than-light-space-travel-a-boost/

Let's not add uncertainty and confusion by guessing what the OP read.
