Do UFOs traverse wormholes?
The Impossibility of Teleportation or “Warp Drives”

“Science fiction goes one step beyond technobabble. Here one begins with scientifically accepted fact and theory and then extrapolates new scientific-appearing fictions that have no bases in reality. ... writers may invent wormholes that serve as rapid long-distance transit portals.” Dr. Jonathan Smith
Some ET promoters realize that there is no use pretending aliens might be now visiting us by way of craft which have simply traversed the vast distances separating us from even the closest of exoplanets. Of this group, some give up entirely and concede that their entire thesis was and is fallacious. Others simply shift the goalposts by claiming that, conveniently, the vast expanses of space need not be traversed at all. The explanation they provide is always the same:
Aliens could fold space! They can travel through a wormhole in their own solar system, and exit another wormhole near our own, thus teleporting past billions of light years instantaneously. We know this is possible thanks to relativity and quantum mechanics.
Others make the same basic claim, but conjure up “warp drive,” “Krasnikov tubes,” “Tachyons,” etc. All, however, are refuted by the same scientific considerations.
There is no serious scienfic theory about wormholes
Nothing resembling a “folding of spacetime” through a “wormhole” to enable a craft’s “teleportation” has ever been convincingly theorized, much less has anything like these phenomena been empirically verified to stand within the scope of reality.
Wormhole theory has nothing to do with Einstein's Relativity
Although some writers claim that proposing wormholes is “consistent” with Albert’s famous theory, this says nothing. Flying cows and planets made of cheese are also consistent with that theory. Wormholes do not follow from Relativity.
What is a wormhole?
A “wormhole” is a fictional proposition wherein two black holes existing at far distant parts of the universe may be “connected” such that they are actually two end points of a single bridge. For no apparent reason—and reminiscent of the convenient irrationality of Pagan myths—this bridge “folds” a fictional entity they call “the fabric of spacetime itself” such that its endpoints (from the perspective of the bridge) are very close together, enabling even relatively slow (i.e., non-Einsteinian-relativity-contradicting) travel along this bridge to cause the spaceship to jump to another part of the universe entirely. Finally, these “wormholes” could also be constructed such that one black-hole-endpoint of the wormhole is located close enough to our own planet to enable aliens to visit us from distant parts of our galaxy or other galaxies.
Various wormhole-travel theories have been presented, all resulting in insurmountable contradictions.
Whitehole and blackhole theory
One theory has one black hole and one “white hole” (basically the time-reversed opposite of a black hole, for it emits, instead of absorbs, matter and energy). On this theory (and others), the astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle explains:
Such a wormhole would not be traversable, much to the disappointment of sci-fi fans. Any object entering the black hole must eventually intersect the singularity.
And no object can enter the event horizon of a white hole. So no journey from one end of the wormhole to the other would be possible.
...it [moreover would] require the black hole / white hole pair to have existed forever in the past and forever in the future. It is [merely] a fun mathematical construct. But since time has a beginning, this solution is disallowed in the real universe. Other types of wormholes have been proposed... However, in all cases they are apparently unstable, collapsing before any particle could make use of the short cut. ... wormholes do not exist in the real universe. Physicists and mathematicians may enjoy considering these interesting solutions to Einstein’s field equations. But the real universe must obey not only the rules of general relativity, but other physical laws as well, such as thermodynamics...
Proof there are no wormholes
Time travel is impossible because there is no such thing as time. Time is a unit of measurement, not a concrete object to be traversed. Any proposition that includes time travel is immediately disputed by a reductio ad absurdum. Wormholes theory includes both teleportation and time travel.
Temporal Paradox
ET promoters are peddling a theory where one could enter a wormhole, exit its other end at an earlier time, then proceed to prevent himself from entering the wormhole in the first place. So, did he enter the wormhole or not? Obviously, there is no solution to this situation. It is a logical contradiction just as futile as positing a square circle; whatever scenario could result in such a situation must itself be simply dismissed as intrinsically preposterous. This is called a Temporal Paradox.
Proof there are no wormholes near earth
Let us, however, pretend that wormholes can exist, and can enable teleportation of spacecraft and the pilots of those craft. Even under this scenario—counterfactual for a multitude of reasons—the wormhole proposition cannot possibly allow for aliens on earth.
- It would distroy the solar system: If one of the wormhole-endpoints were close enough to planet earth to allow aliens to reasonably travel here, then that black hole itself would destroy our planet, not to mention our solar system.
- The closest black hole is too far: We already know that (if such a thing exists), the closest black hole to earth is at least 1,500 light years away; the “Unicorn” black hole. If any black holes were closer, astronomers would be aware of their existence. No craft will ever reach us from such a great distance. As such, we cannot allow for the arrival of aliens on earth by way of any black holes that actually exist.
- Wormhole could not be constructed: If a wormhole were to be “constructed” in sufficient proximity to earth to enable aliens to travel here, then the proximate wormhole-endpoint-black-hole itself would, of course, need to be constructed by aliens who were themselves already here. Thus, the wormhole “solution” to aliens-on-earth is immediately self-defeating. One must presuppose their proximity to earth in order to explain how they could attain proximity to earth.
