As bad as it gets...

Seriously? This is supposed to be read by the general public? Time for a total rewrite.

a wormhole is 2 blackholes?

I was so confused when I read this statement in the article. If a wormhole has a blackhole at each end, how can one time travel? It doesnt makes sense. I would think that one end of the wormhole is a blackhole while the other is a white hole. Things enter at one end (blackhole) and exit through the other end (white hole). This makes more sense in terms of the time travelling theory but I know i'm wrong, some other sceintist probably declined htis theory due to some reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rimsha 1994 (talk • contribs) 02:04, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

you make a good point that it should be black on one end and white on the other. but the question is would it take two blackholes to warp spacetime enough to create a wormhole or does a white hole warp spacetime sufficiently to replace a black hole? Kenneth Edward smith (talk) 19:34, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is completely incorrect. White holes have no basis in theoretical pysics. Additionally, a black hole is simply an object that collapsed in upon itself, focusing all of its mass at one point, giving it 1. an infinite density and 2. an event horizan, the point at which even light can not escape the gravitational pull of the mass. An object pulled into a black hole is not transported somewhere else, but is simply crushed, and its mass is added to the black hole. This section of the article should be changed as soon as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obolisk0430 (talk • contribs) 15:51, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question

This probably is the wrong place to ask, but I didn't know where else to. Would a wormhole exert of gravitational pull, and if so how strong would it be? Toothless99 talk to me (View my Contributions) 13:45, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Space inside a wormhole

From my understanding,a wormhole is an immediate connection between two points in space time. There is no space "within the wormhole". If you entered one end of the wormhole, you would immediatly be at the other point in space time.
