My point is, lots of things are still unproven but we know the outcome. This includes in mathematics. Things remain unproven but mathematicians know the outcome

It might piss the purists off to think like this but tough luck this is how the world works.
You seem happy to throw out causality? but not the faster than light bit. This seems biased.
- wyager 10y ago> You seem happy to throw out causality? but not the faster than light bit. Nope, going faster than light violates causality. As I have said N times, wormholes do not allow you to go faster than light. I really can't be any clearer on that. What they do is alter the topology of space so that you can create a shorter route between two locations that used to be "far away" in the old topology.
- dghf 10y agoYes, but if you entering the wormhole at one end and leaving it at the other are events with spacelike separation, then those events have no absolute order, which means that there is at least one frame of reference in which you leave the wormhole before you enter it. That's time-travel, and that raises the possibility of causality violations.
- ithkuil 10y agoI honestly don't have a clue, but I got the impression it's not so simple as that; e.g. see http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/128085/1174 http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/128085/1174 and similar answers. do you have any interesting read about the topic ?
