Comment as I understand... (Score 1) 148
The best analogy that I have heard so far, from just about anyone (here, school, crazy physics profs) is the ball of silly-putty which you take pieces and smush them together. This is quickly followed by the proviso that it's all in dimensions that we cant understand, and that nothing we can say or write will really explain it, but that's not the point. So from this, here is my question/comment. I have heard several people rant about how it wont work because an object cannot exsist in two places at once. But it seems like that's not really what's happening. Really, the object is exsisting in only one place, but two locations are occupying the same part of the 4th/11th/umpteenth/whateverth dimensional space that we're dealing with. So... 1) wouldnt that mean that we could (providing we build a wormhole) successfully compress the entire univers onto a single geometric point? 2) doesnt that mean that if we could build one wormhole then energy would be no problem, by simply using the first wormhole to facilitate fissin/fusion (i get the two mixed up) to supply all the energy we need?
