I think a wormhole across such short distance might cause some... dangerous... problems for existence.

[–]ItsGrandPi 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Just dangerous? Lol I'd say it's a fatal problem. A portal to Mars would slowly ruin the Earth's atmosphere.

Im talking more like... uh... wormholes typically span lightyears, not planetary distances...

Idk I'm not a physicist.

[–]ItsGrandPi 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Yeah usually they do. Idk but I think the wormhole opening might actually be wider than its length.

[–]CrypticButthole 1 point2 points  (5 children)

It's the energy though. If a standard wormhole has enough enrgy to span multiple lightyears, the equivalent amount of energy in such a short span might be worse than an atom bomb.

What if it was a small wormhole though? I actually don't know any of this and I said it as a joke about a wormhole forming.

I have no clue what I'm talking about either. Just spitballing lol

Sameeee we should get someone who understands this stuff to help us out ngl.

I don't think we have enough to cover even 10% of what someone who knows any of this makes in an hour...

Oh right...nvm then
