Keep in mind you can not create or destroy gravitational potential - you can only move it. Otherwise you have a discontinuity.
So you would have to start your wormhole with both mouths at the same place, and then move one mouth to the new location, with gravity "flowing" between them all the while.
- ben_w 5y agoThe word “flowing” is ambiguous, I don’t know if you’re agreeing with me or disagreeing with me.
- ars 5y agoA change in gravitational potential (because you moved a mass) flows through normal space. It would do the same through the wormhole. So I'm agreeing with you, and adding how this gravitational slope is created: It's created at the start of the wormhole and changes as you move the mouths of the wormhole, rather than popping into existence at a later time with the two wormhole mouths separated.
