Wormholes May Not Be A Feasible Transportation Method
Studying the properties of exotic matter in wormholes, researchers from the University of Oregon believe that wormholes may be impractical as a means of transportation. With a wormhole modeled under relativity using exotic matter needed to maintain it would prove inherently unstable and it is unlikely that it could be maintained long enough for someone to travel through it. Under quantum mechanics the wormhole is more stable, but the other end may fluctuate in space and time to unpredictable locations making travel also extremely risky.
Oh well, I guess we have to look back to warp engines or at least wait for a unified theory of gravitation and quantum mechanics.
