If a wormhole creates an event horizon on both ends then we won't see anything coming out of it.

A black holes event horizon is a consequence of its massive gravitational field, so if you get that a wormhole should also have a massive gravitational field than the event horizon would follow from that.
And from my understanding, it's not the event horizon they are saying is smaller in the wormhole, it is the wormhole itself. So I think it is something like a difference in the tidal force, a more concentrated source of a gravitational field would have a stronger tidal force which can be detected.
Not where I live. I wish my policy makers were pushing hard for more transit options.
Electrons are actually considered points by physicists. If they do have a size it is not currently known.
In an accident in which a fatality is unavoidable, I don't want my car to agree with the other cars that its best for me to be the fatality
That's shortsighted, you're assuming you will always be on the losing side of this situation. If the cars strategy is to preserve as many lives as possible, even if that means harm to the occupant, you are more likely to be saved by this strategy when it is the other drivers car trying to save you.
Things are legal by default, the question should be why do you think it is illegal for companies to choose who they sell their products to? Is their a specific law that is being violated? Keep in mind the companies are not based in the US so our laws don't apply.
No, to confuse a teaparty persecution complex with reality.
Lawrence Krauss said he wouldn't take legal action to avoid giving this movie any additional publicity due to the Streisand Effect.
How would you describe red only in terms of blue and green? You can't. If the people were actually seeing a new color they wouldn't even try describing it.
No, the assertion was never made that all alternative medicine has been proven not to work. The assertions made are that all alternative medicine have not been proven to work, and some have been proven not to work. Both are true.
Right, that's why there are still medical researchers improving and expanding the field of western medicine continuously. No one claimed western medicine was perfect and complete.
Except it's not like that, because if it's mandatory then the robber knows ahead of time that the thing is useless to steal. That's the idea, at least.
Territory to be defended? Were talking about a bar in San Francisco, not a third world war-zone. If your experience is with the kind of place where it's normal to assault others at the slightest provocation, that's fine. But don't expect your experience to reflect those of us in a more civil society.
What is rude or offensive of taking photos of your friends? Nowhere was it said that photos were being taken of the people who were complaining.
Of course if you're taking pictures of a specific person you need to respect their wishes if they ask you to stop. But they don't have the right to tell you to stop taking pictures of your friends, or anyone else.
Many people are unenthusiastic about their work.
