Building a wormhole

Post by kojikun »

NASA's Warp Drive When website states that to construct wormhole you would...

"First, collect a whole bunch of super-dense matter, such as matter from a neutron star. How much?- well enough to construct a ring the size of the Earth?s orbit around the Sun. Then build another ring where you want the other end of your wormhole. Next, just charge ?em up to some incredible voltage, and spin them up to near the speed of light -- both of them. "

I wonder how this works and if it could be scaled down to produce microscoping wormholes.

In the scenario described above, you'd obviously have to be able to somehow collect and use all that dense matter. I think, by the time we achieve that kind of capability, we would've already found some easier form of FTL, if there is a way.

I think the biggest problem is getting to the other side where you want your wormhole to end. And I'm sure that will take several years. The next problem would be getting the energy needed to get them charged up.
