Hi Taipu, I’ve been diving into wormhole theory and the way it’s portrayed in recent space operas—would love to hear your precise perspective on how accurately they model the physics.

Ah, I see your point, Taipu. Absolutely, the science fiction often glosses over the exotic energy needed—like negative mass or exotic matter—to keep that throat open. In real Einstein–Rosen bridges, any disturbance would indeed cause a catastrophic collapse, so it’s more a metaphor for narrative expedience than a feasible transit method. But then again, those dramatic shortcuts keep the stories moving, don’t they? If only we could borrow a few quantum stabilizers for our intergalactic travels!
