This story reads like a "flying cars" article out of "Popular (Quantum) Mechanics." <|:)~

Just tell us, is there a hole big enough for Hillary and Rosie, plus Senator Byrd?

It would be a delicate operation, however. Add too much negative energy, the scientists discovered, and the wormhole will briefly explode into a new universe that expands at the speed of light, much as astrophysicists say ours did immediately after the big bang.

Why do I get the feeling that this might be a bad thing?

Quantum wormholes

I've read this article before and been looking for these quantum wormholes. I believe I have actually found them. I was at the park the other day and there was this little green building that looked like a spaceship, I got in and by golly there it was the Quantum wormhole. Needless to say, I jumped right in.

This is bogus. I've got a wormhole in my closet and it just takes me to the Wendy's down the street.

Distant galaxies indeed!

I say go for it, right after the geniuses can assure me that this isn't how our own universe was created however many billions of years ago.

They're looking for wormholes in all the wrong places. All wormholes are connected directly to home CLOTHES DRYERS. And they operate on SOCKS.

Bookmarked.

If a radio wave is sent into one of these black holes, where does the signal go?

Switzerland is expected to generate
one mini-black hole per second, a
 potential source of wormholes

The difference between a black hole
and a wormhole is significant.  The
black hole has collapsed matter in it
that a traveller would have to get through
before going anywhere.  How a black
hole can be a source of wormholes
is problematic.

Does this mean our universe is the result of a "hold muh beer" incident at a cosmic kegger? 'Twould be truly apropos!
