Bear with me, assuming you had a device that could bend space-time the same way as energy does and built two time machines and put the one inside the other then you sent the outer one forward in time and the inner one backwards would they hypothetically create a wormhole? Or what would happen according to the EFE? Weird question I know but humor me.

Every device has this, as every device has energy.
and built two time machines
Without a description how to build them, this is pointless speculation - we do not allow this here, so I closed the thread.
If you have a proper description how those time machines are supposed to work, feel free to send me a message, and I'll open the thread again.

Even better: if you have a working time machine, you can go back to a time where the thread was still open, and edit your post :D.[/size]
