And so that is, I would say, the pushback or the grief against wormhole research is that, you know, this is, it seems like it is decades, if not centuries of technology ahead of us. And so then the question is, well, why would you study wormholes? Well- I would say, why would you not? Why not? That's kind of giving us another clue about how our universe could behave.
And then given the fact that we've only seen 5% of our observable universe, the other 95% could have wormholes in it, and we just not looked hard enough.

Because at one point, space travel was fiction. At one point, the cell phone was fiction. The computer was fiction. Quantum mechanics was fiction. So I look at all of these theories, and this is kind of my motivation as a theoretical physicist, is that someone has to work on these problems but do it creatively to generate the advancements in technologies decades later.

And so that is why I work on black holes and jet physics and things like that. And why one would work on wormholes, because we need somebody to solve these very, very fundamental or basic problems and do it creatively and innovatively. Right. So that we can have something to advance our technologies to later on.
