No. “Wormholes” are theoretical distortions of the time/space continuum that if they truly existed would probably last no more than a few milliseconds, much less be a pathway for interstellar travel. However that is not to say that there are not other advanced civilizations within this galaxy and given that it is speculated that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies, innumerable others. Virtually impossible that they will visit us or each other but it is not impossible that they could become aware of each others existence via transmissions, have established “networks” that communicate with each other and relay information that probably takes over one hundred years to receive and answer a message. The “visit” that UFO enthusiasts can best hope for is that someone out there has received some of the enormous transmissions humans have sent over the past one hundred years into space and sees fit to answer. Now that would be interesting.

Waiting for extraterrestrials to notice an obviously manufactured device clinging to a comet hurtling thru space and wonder where the heck it came from...good plotline for a movie anyhow...

The “Virtually impossible” assumes:

That the current state of our knowledge is all there is;

That the best way to travel interstellar distances is by using chemical, nuclear, solar, or electrical propulsion;

That the solar system we see today is static and not dynamic as is every other ‘organism’ in existence;

That the putative alien species is not already here and has been for eons;

That the putative aliens did not arise in this solar system millions or billions of years ago, because only Earth supports life as we define it today;

That you do not know who James Clerk Maxwell is, nor why he is the ‘father’ of all modern physics, nor what his field theories proved possible.
