Quick Wormhole Help

[DaShi]

Sigh. Wormholes are made by giant space worms. However, they have been nearly hunted to extinction by the evil Space Viceroy Xeko.

There's these things called Orbs.

Quote from "The Light of Other Days" (2000) by Arthur C Clarke and Stephen Baxter, page 25:
'Kate saw a gathering of glowing light points - atoms?
The lights made up a geodesic sphere, closed over itself, slowly turning. And within, she saw, there was another sphere, turning in the opposite sense - and within that another sphere, and another, down to teh limits of vision. It was like some piece of clockwork, an orrery of atoms. But the whole structure pulsed with a pale blue light, and she sensed a gathering of great energies.
It was, she admitted, truly beautiful.
Hiram said, "This is called a Casimir engine. It is perhaps the most exquistiely constructed machien ever built by man.... and yet it is less than a few hundred atomic diameters wide. You can see the shells are constructed of atoms - in fact carbon atoms; the structure is related to the natural stable structures called "buckyballs", carbon-60. You make the shells by zapping graphite with laser beams. We've loaded the engine with electric charge using cages called Penning traps - electromagnetic fields. The structure is held together by powerful magnetic fields. The various shells are maintained, at their closest, just a few electrons' diameters apart....'
Kate, tiring of Hiram's wordy boasting, quickly consulted the Search Engine. She learned that the 'Casimir effect' was related to the virtual particles she had seen sparkling into and out of existence. In teh narrow gaps between the atomic shells, because of resonance effects, only certain types of particles would be permitted to exist. And so those gaps were emptier than 'empty' space, and therefore less energetic. This negative-energy effective could give rise, among other things, to antigravity. The structure's various levels were starting to spin more rapidly.
'We're going to inject Casmir-effect negative energy into the wormholes of the quantum foam. The antigravity effects will stabilize and enlarge the wormholes. WE calculate that the probability of finding a wormhole connecting Seattle to Brisbane, acceptable accuracy, is one in ten million. So it will take us some ten million attempts to locate the wormhole we want. But this is atomic machinery and it works bloody fast; even a hundred million attempts should take us less than a second... And the beauty of it is, down at the quantum level, links to any place we want already exist: all we have to do is find them."

(That's all I can probably post for now. The rest of the book goes into detail how wormholes could be used for power-plants, creating a police state, a world without morals, and an ability to see the past, and record people from the past to resurrect them.)

My, you guys don't know anything

1. Get a giant spaceworm

2. Make a whole into it

Done!

MattBowron: Interesting!

[KrazyHorse]

You're a terrible person, Lori.

Wormhole? Never heard it called that before. But, if you're interested in getting some "wormhole," you should most certainly NOT be hanging around here.
