      String theory is a neat way of explaining some things, but isn’t that useful for real world applications – in part because it is difficult to imagine in 7 or 8 dimensions.

      I don’t know much about worm hypothesis, is it in any way similar to quantum teleportation?

      Hmm I don’t understand their complexities enough to have an opinion.

      I don’t really know enough about either of them to give you an answer right now. I’d need to read a book about them or something (which will take until after this event has finished). Sorry.

    worm hypothesys is the hypothesis that after being “sucked” into a black hole, you are teleported to a white hole in another part of time and space, this is then known as a worm hole. this hypothesis only realy works with the idea of time being a dimension not an ilussion.
