The laws of physics are the mathematical description, and the wormhole concept arises as a curious edge case of those laws. If wormholes are actually impossible, the laws of physics already need to be rewritten, not the other way around.

Or the even bigger problem I explain here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12301781 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12301781
- XorNot 10y agoBy pushing hard enough to equalize the GPR you're removing by going into space? Consider an obvious example: a wormhole which connects two points on earth separated by 1m of real distance, at the same height. Theres no violation of conservation of energy because you did not gain or lose gravitational potential energy, and your start and end momentum is conserved.
