If nothing goes faster than light then what is the purpose of a worm hole?

A worm hole supposedly connects two different regions of space-time. In this case a particle travelling through a worm hole would be experiencing a topological effect. Technically particles would still be travelling less than the speed of light, since a worm hole is considered a topological artifact.

Of course, if no one else was aware of your worm hole you could freak them out by one day showing up on the other side of the universe.

I'm no physics guy, but even if the particle travels thru the actual worm hole at a speed less than light, does not the theory of relativity mean that the actual speed of that particle is greater than light? *I'll say this again, the only physics I know is from my college class which was several years ago. LOL* Forgive my ignorance.
