Not extreme scale, using a type of energy that doesn't actually exist. i.e. it's not about the quantity of energy, it's the type. It's a mathematical result, not an actual thing. > But, it is wrong to say it is impossible. It is theoretically possible. No, it is not possible. See my other replies in this thread.

    You sure about that? "...calculations in semiclassical gravity suggest that quantum effects may be able to violate this condition in curved spacetime. Although it was hoped recently that quantum effects could not violate an achronal version of the averaged null energy condition, violations have nevertheless been found, so it remains an open possibility that quantum effects might be used to support a wormhole." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole
