How to make Wormholes (?!)

[Widdekind]

Attached is an exceedingly schematic diagram, indicating how a Wormhole might possibly be created, between the curved Spacetimes, of the Gravity Wells, of two massive objects (stars, say).

 

From within the Gravity Well of one star, a "Space Warper" would compact matter, to create a Singularity of exceedingly curved Space Time. This new -- and completely man-made -- Gravity Well would "branch off" through Hyperspace, until it encountered the Gravity Well of the second star.

 

Presumably, once the patch of Spacetime surrounding the "Space Warper" came into contact with a patch of Spacetime in the second star's Gravity Well, they could "merge", allowing the "Space Warper" to appear near the second star.

What's hyperspace?

[Widdekind]

Possible Problem -- "Space Warped" Wormholes, created in an in-sufficiently curved regions of Spacetime, might "miss" the desired destination Gravity Well, across Hyperspace

 

Attached is another exceedingly schematic diagram, depicting a hypothetical "Hyperspace miss", from a man-made Wormhole, created in an in-sufficiently curved region of Spacetime.

Possible Solution to above-posed Problem -- "Space Warped" Wormholes, created inside other Wormholes, might "make it back" to the desired destination Gravity Well, across Hyperspace

 

Attached is another exceedingly schematic diagram, depicting a "compound double Wormhole", which might "make it back" to Real Space, from "deep in Hyperspace".

What's hyperspace?

 

I understand, that Hyperspace is the higher-dimensional (5+ dimensions) space inside of which our 3+1 dimensional Spacetime is embedded.

 

In the above attached figures, Spacetime is the curved line (1-D), containing the two stars (M₁ & M₂) and the "Space Warper" (m); and, Hyperspace is the plane of your computer monitor (2-D), inside of which that (exceedingly schematic) 1-dimensional curved Spacetime is embedded.

and how do you intend on such extreme warping of spacetime?

[Cap'n Refsmmat]

Why would a gravitational field branch off into hyperspace?

[SH3RL0CK]

If you did warp space-time this intensely, wouldn't there be some rather nasty side effects?

[insane_alien]

gravitational sheer would be quite a problem. at the very least.even if you have a material strong enough to cope with it you still aren't going to be able to get humans through it.

I wouldn't really care but it takes away from people who actually have legit questions or concerns.

The diameter of the "throat" of a (single) Singularity-induced Wormhole is surely essentially said Singularity's Schwarzschild Radius (r_s). But, to get an r_s of even ~1 meter would require a mass comparable to the planet Jupiter. (Carl Sagan once said, separately, but aptly, "we're talking about ships the size of worlds".) Perhaps you could reduce this by some measurable factor, by creating a cluster of smaller Singularities bunched up -- like dimpling a rubber sheet w/ your five fingers, instead of one big fist. Even so, the tremendous stretching of Space-Time, across light-years' of (Hyper-)space, would obviously stretch everything to shreds.

 

Note that, to my understanding, Hyperspace is the 5th (& higher??) dimension(s), through which 4-dimensional Spacetime curves. You can visualize this, w/ 1 space + 1 time dimension (2D) curving in 3D space. So, by this comparison, while a trip through Hyperspace could cut down the distance -- much like a line straight through the Earth is shorter than around its surface -- you would still be traveling light-years across Hyperspace -- much like the diameter of the Earth is still comparable to its circumference.

 

 

 

Maybe you could create a spherical shell-shaped Singularity, inside of which the Spacetime Curvature remained small, even as the Singularity-shell stretched across HS, and contacted another region of Spacetime. Then, once the Wormhole was opened, the inner contents could be "rotated" around into the far-side of the WH -- to wit, the Destination -- and then the Singularity "evaporated" or otherwise closed, leaving the "cargo" in the Destination system. Speaking of which, for small-mass Singularities, the Evaporation Radiation could be quite intense too.
