Wormholes Unstable (BBC)

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!"

    Like a big hammer? Or more like a giant screw driver? :-)

    Anyone know why this thread and many others are filled with talk to the GPL? IS it a slashdot error, or is someone crap flooding us?

    Crapflood. One hell of a way to avoid the lameness filter, eh? Just copy and paste something that's already passed. It could be someone busily copying and pasting from one thread to another, but the task seems well suited for automation.

    Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a spammer, filling articles with posts from unrelated articles... kinda clever, really... it's a pretty good way to get around the lameness filter, and it's *really* annoying.
