Are gravitational waves and wormholes connected?

in theory’s involving quantum entanglement within a wormhole manipulated with unlimited gravitational energies, sure why not, that may help explain infinite speed,

of course I have no idea what I’m talking about :-)

If space-time folds over on itself how would ‘speed’ be defined between any two points?

Lots of smart folks here, I’m probably the last person on FR to ask :-)

I believe gravity may be the most powerful force in the universe vs. having an appearance of being a dispersed weak one,

However I was merely conjecturing as a thought experiment (not sure its even valid) but could two particles be entangled on opposite ends of a gravitational wave or ripple (or wormhole) and if so what does that mean for the speed of light? Its feels to me like the elephant in the room,

We'll assume gravity's a strong force rather than a weak force... and assume space-time folds over on itself - possibly an infinite number of times... That would explain why we don't ‘fall through’ - - the countervailing force on the other side would be... hold for it - gravity. The wormhole would not be off in space - it would be beneath our feet... so to speak. Anyhow I don't understand any of this... just having fun.

I’ve wondered why no one has suggested the possibility of a gravitational anomaly (natural wormhole) to explain KIC 8462852?

Einstein predicted them, so what would their appearance be, what would they look like if we actually spotted one far off in some other part of the galaxy?

As to the possibility of an infinite number of folds I don’t think so, to my way of thinking that is used to explain things which may be inconvenient,
