    Light Path
AI Thread Summary
Light does indeed travel the fastest path, and creating a wormhole from one side of the galaxy to the other could facilitate significant light traffic. However, it would take time for light to adapt to this new route, as light beams tend to follow their established paths initially. With sufficient promotion of the wormhole, more light could eventually be directed through it. The initial traffic may be minimal, particularly in the first year, due to light's tendency to stick to its original trajectory. Overall, while a wormhole could increase light traffic, the transition would not be immediate.

light always travels the fastest path right?
what if i were to make a wormhole from one side of the galaxy to the other?
would i then get a lot of light "traffic" through it?

Yes, provided you advertised enough, the local light would eventually all go through your wormhole. Don't expect much in the first year though, as light beams are pretty set in their ways.
