Web Mister--I myself am skeptical of worm holes. That however does not have much impact I suppose on whether they exist or not. If it were not for the 'speed limit' imposed by relativity I doubt there would be much interest in them. Given the immense distances in the universe people want someway around it. Wormholes offer a way around it though they do require getting a black hole to use. Currently there are none known in the immediate neighborhood. I am really doubtful that they would be usable even if one were right where we wanted it. Given the effects on an object moving near one it is a little like taking a short cut to the other side of the earth by moving through the center. There are certainly a lot of places in the universe I would like to see. They make my trips to New Zealand, the Caribbean, and Tasmania seem pretty tame. All the Best Druss
