Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the effects of moving the mouths of a traversable wormhole on the internal distance within the wormhole. Participants explore theoretical implications and potential variations in wormhole models.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification
Main Points Raised
- One participant proposes a scenario involving a traversable wormhole formed between two locations, questioning whether moving one mouth would affect the internal distance.
- Another participant references the traversable wormhole solution by Kip Thorne, asserting that the internal distance would not change if the mouths are moved.
- A subsequent participant inquires about the existence of any solutions where the internal distance could change with the movement of the mouths.
- Another participant expresses uncertainty, stating they are not aware of any such solutions and acknowledge their limited knowledge of current wormhole literature.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
There is no consensus on whether moving the mouths of a wormhole could affect the internal distance, as participants express differing levels of knowledge and uncertainty regarding existing solutions.
Contextual Notes
Participants note limitations in their knowledge of the current literature on wormholes, which may affect the completeness of their claims.
