How can a wormhole be relocated and what would happen to objects near it?

[QUOTE="Michael27, post: 6005080, member: 456388"] I will try to explain how I see wormholes, or hope to use them in the plot: [LIST] [*]Is a wormhole fixed in space/time, example I have three wormholes (not connected) located in space time, do the relative distances/vectors change between the wormholes change because of the geometry differences of space/time at each location? [I]A wormhole is a fixed position in space time. This means that a wormhole would not be affected gravity or other forces. I ran into a problem here as determining the position becomes rather hard. Everything else is moving with some kind of vector through space but there is no absolute position, but by setting a wormhole to a fixed position in space time the wormhole will be hard to position.[/I] [*]Can it be moved by some means? [I]Yes it should be able to move them but I don't know how. As a wormhole is essentially an alteration of the geometry of spacetime, I need to find some way to make the mathematics work in spacetime. I have two arguments: 1: Normally spacetime is affected by mass/gravity. A wormhole shapes the geometry in space. So it must show as mass, a very big mass as it bends space into a shape not normally considered. 2: Spacetime can have a geometry of its own. This can be a 'natural' geometry and therefore not caused by gravity. It simply is the straight path through spacetime. How this can be accomplished is beyond me for now. I don't like to introduce exotic matter or some meta abilities that reach beyond spacetime. I don't have a good idea if the relocation of a wormhole would require energy and if so how much (only an order would suffice). [/I] [*]If an object that is too large to enter the wormhole hit the wormhole what would happen to the object? Does the object break apart, just run past it, get a hole the size of the wormhole and only parts of the object will go through the wormhole? [I]When an object that is too large to enter the wormhole it will allow the particles that fit through and the rest to follow its normal path through space. This will make a very perfect round tunnel through the object. The wormhole is simply a path in spacetime but with the restriction that it will not fit anything as its geometry doesn't allow bigger objects to pass through.[/I] [/LIST] Thanks in advance, Michael.
