Wormholes Unstable (BBC)

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-it's-not-like-i-planned-to-build-a-condo-there-anyway dept.

An anonymous reader writes that "The BBC reports on recent theoretical physics research showing that wormholes may not be very useful for space or time travel. Wormholes with smooth or classical spacetimes appear to be unstable and fall apart quickly. Too bad for budding time travelers and space explorers!"

    If wormholes allow time travel, their brevity is nearly irrelevant.
