Chronology Protection / Retrocausality Prohibition
The idea that while wormholes allow for time dilation and could theoretically function as time machines, nature prevents paradoxes (like the grandfather paradox) by destroying the mechanism or canceling the signals...
Momentum-Based Wormhole Transit
Instead of accelerating the wormhole itself, an object with sufficient momentum can be sent through a stationary wormhole, appearing instantly at the other end.
Reverse Temporal Excursion
Travel to past is feasible through breaking Schwinger limit which destroys arrow of time enabling any temporal manipulation.
Technological Signatures in Cosmic Rays
The hypothesis that Centauro events, cosmic ray interactions with only electromagnetic interactions, are technosignatures of advanced civilizations using charged wormholes.
