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.

If you were not aware of a worm hole, it would *seem* like particles could travel faster than the speed of light, but technically they would still be travelling less than or equal to the speed of light.
