They all end up in a basement room at fermilab but none of them are matches.

“Its cool but its sleight of hand.”
That’s what I got from it also.
My understanding of a Wormhole is that it folds space-time bringing two distant (nanometers or/to lightyears) points together, with the ability to move from point a to point b (space) in a fraction of the time the transport would normally take.
Their idea of this technology as a cloak was intriguing, though.

This article was written as if a wormhole (as most of us understand the term) was created with magnets. But reading the article thats not what happened at all. They simply invented a device that (as far as I can tell) separates and shunts a magnetic field away from its source and hides the process so it APPEARS magically to be at a distance from its source. Its cool but its sleight of hand. Not magic. Not extra special dimensions.
Whatever it is, it isn’t a wormhole.

he magnetic field was transferred through an extra special dimension."I'm sure the original read "extra spatial dimension."

"wormhole" is a bad word for this.
But the general public thinks the Ferengi are going to come out or something.
American science has been so dumbed down.
