Our Wormholes Are Different: Difference between revisions

Fiction, of course, is different. Wormholes are often used as a potential way to get past that bothersome "[[FTL|can't accelerate past the speed of light]]" rule, using the wormholes as nodes in an interstellar [[Portal Network]]. In fiction, wormholes take on all sorts of forms, including confusing them with black holes, which are a naturally-occurring scientific phenomena in which all energy and matter are [[Gravity Sucks|attracted to it]] (also known as having a lot of gravity); nothing can escape the event horizon of a black hole (though if FTL ''were'' possible, the event horizon -- being based on lightspeed as an absolute limit to escape velocity -- would need to be redefined), let alone the singularity at the centre (as things would need to, were they to act as most theories of wormholes state). Sometimes they can be opened at will, sometimes you can transmit radio waves through them for [[FTL Radio]], sometimes they connect you to [[Alternate Universe|parallel universes]], sometimes they are used for [[Time Travel]], and so on.
