Ever see the movie “Paycheck” with Ben Affleck?

He was hired to finish work on a time machine.

But it used technology to see around the curve of time/space to SEE into the future.

Maybe this could be used Similarly?

"...cut TWO crystals that were exactly alike in size, shape and form down to the millionths of an inch, ..."

Alas! Decoherence would already have done its damage...😕

You gotta keep ‘em near absolute zero.

Not a big problem in space, just the one here..............

Avoiding the need for negative energy to inflate the throat and counter a collapse upon transit? Kip Thorne pleased!!!

I think I’ll go into the space energy business... Next to a wormhole I’ll build a station and have a sign saying: Last rest stop for next 10 light years... 😀

The only thing at the other side of a wormhole is a black hole.

Not a good trip, other than you accelerate to the speed of light before disintegrating into oblivion.

And some people believe it’s entirely possible that extraterrestrials have visited earth at some time. Even plausible.

And they don’t comport with your pejoratives.

“We are not alone” is the most original and basic of all human beliefs. To be aware of self is to know there are others.

Only “Beer is Good” is in the same lofty category.

Hi.

“If we’re going to send weird stuff, can we start with Pelosi?”

That is a great idea. See if her atoms reconstitute.

If not, oh well. She did it for science.

There are also people who believe that if beings that appear to be aliens do show up, that they will in fact be demons from Hell. Those people’s lives will then gain all sorts of meaning as they will believe that the Apocalypse is upon us.

"these diagrams of space-time neatly folded and parallel, while meant to be symbolic or conceptual, are just too convenient for a ‘wormhole’ than can be traversed."

As you point out, these are basic conceptual representations. Really what you're seeing is a 2-D image of space being bent across a higher dimension (third). In reality, our 3-D space would likely be "bent" via a higher (fourth) dimension. This wouldn't be perceptible to us anymore than a 2-D creature could understand us bending a piece of paper over itself and poking a hole through the two parts.
