Exploring the Possibility of Wormhole Creation: A Scientific Perspective

[QUOTE="pervect, post: 6032955, member: 14402"] Purely classically, I believe it requires a time machine to create a wormhole. However, there are papers that suggest it'd would be possible to stabilize a wormhole that was created non-classically (say from the 'quantum foam' you menion), via purely classical means. I'd suggest looking at the Moris, Thorne, Yurtserver paper "Wormholes, time machines, and the weak energy condition",[URL='https://authors.library.caltech.edu/9262/'] <<link>>[/URL]. The section where they say "Wormhole creation with such mild space-time curvature that classical general relativity is everywhere, must be accomponied by closed timelike curves and/or noncontinuous choice of future light cone. Which reads as "time machine" in lay terms. In the subsequent section they mention "quantum foam". There's a popularized discussion in Throne's book, "Einstein's Outrageous Legacy" I believe.
