in your opinion do you have an idea the amount of energy that would have to be harnessed in order to create and stabilize a wormhole for galactic travel millions of light years to another part of the universe, HYPOTHETICLY, this question is for entertainment, for example what fraction of a stars energy would be needed?

  1. It would have to take up combined energy of several thousand to millions of stars every moment to keep the wormhole functioning and stable, since it spews out energy as fast as it gobbles up.  


  2. Well to be honest I don't have a number, but I can make some educated guesses.

    The energy needed should be enough to warp space-time enough over a long strech. Now we look at our own Sun and know that the mass-energy it has barely causes a dent in space time. But our sun is not dense enough. What we need is to puncha hole through, sort of - a black hole. That means we atleast need a star that is massive enough to go nova and become a black hole.



    But that's just keeping all that dense star matter in a space-time tote bag. A wormhole requires the end of that totebag to fuse back up into another point in space-time at which point all that dense star matter should start pouring out. So we need to have a steady stream of mass-energy squeezed into a heavy enough density flowing thru the worm hole to keep it open.

    Now energy will no longer do, but energy per unit time - or power. We have to provide atleast an amount of energy equal to the mass of a nova'd star turned black hole at the rate of how much star matter is escaping the other end - just to keep it open.

    Now for galactic travel you want a big enough wormhole so that you won't get squished - i.e you want the warping of space-time in your vicinity to be as gentle as the warping of space-time of the Sun - which mean we need a big F'in wormhole so that we are tiny enough to escape it's warp effects.

    It'll perhaps takes hundreds...no...thousands...no, let's be safer, millions of stars to sustain a wormhole suitable for galactic travel. And remember we need extra energy to squish all those stars to make them dense enough.

    In short - um, a lot.

  3. I have no idea lol, but I love hearing about stuff like this. Did you ever hear of the AM radio show Coast to Coast Am? It's all about paranormal stuff and has been around for years, it's really interesting. Actually  I was listening to that show the other day and they were talking about wormholes and such.
