Wormholes exist. In fact they happen all the time! The appear and disapear so fast that nothing can travel through them. Einstein's field equation predicts that wormholes live short lvies if left to their own devices; their lives are made shorter by random infalling bits of radiation. The radiation, according to Doug Eardly and Ian Redmount if my memory servers me correctly, gets accelerated to ultra-high energy by the wormholes gravity, and as the energized radiation bombards the wormholes throat, it triggers the throat to recontract and pinch off faster then it would normally. In essence, there could either be billions of wormholes going off at any given time, or none. We can never tell because they happen so quickly! The only time we might detect one is if one was observing some radiation and noticed that some disappeared. Even then, the ammount that would be missing would be so small one would probably account that to a calculation error or device failure.

lets bring in the string theorists!

If you traveled faster than the speed of light, then you would never see anything as the photons would never reach you.

Now thats a fun topic :beer:
