How do wormholes collapse?

As long as a wormhole has a greater mass than any black hole it encounters, it should remain stable. If a wormhole encounters a larger black hole, the black hole may disrupt the wormhole’s exotic matter enough to destabilize the wormhole, causing it to collapse and likely form a new black hole, Gabella said.

What would happen if a wormhole collapsed?

If the wormhole takes a duration to transit, shutting one down should take time. The shutdown would start at one end and traverse to the other. It would dump the traveler out the still open end. Note that if the process is messy, and they could end up being broken down to sub atomic particles on the way out.

Do wormholes have an end?

A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both).

Can a black hole suck in a wormhole?

Wormholes need antimatter to remain open, if a black hole came near a wormhole it might enter it but before entering or within the wormhole it will suck in the antimatter which would damage the matter black hole which would lead to collapsing of wormhole which might cause the destruction of black hole.

How to safely collapse a wormhole?

Be sure to inspect the wormhole after each jump to see if it has reached its 50\% point or even its 10\% point. See the top of this post for more information about that. To safely collapse a wormhole you want to jump through the hole with a very small mass and return with a very large mass.

How can a negative mass wormhole be spotted?

A negative mass wormhole might be spotted by the way its gravity affects light that passes by. Certain solutions of general relativity allow for the existence of wormholes where the mouth of each is a black hole. However, a naturally occurring black hole, formed by the collapse of a dying star, does not by itself create a wormhole.

What was the first type of wormhole solution discovered?

The first type of wormhole solution discovered was the Schwarzschild wormhole, which would be present in the Schwarzschild metric describing an eternal black hole, but it was found that it would collapse too quickly for anything to cross from one end to the other.

Could a wormhole be used to send information through space?

Through the wormhole. Such matter has only been seen in the behavior of certain vacuum states as part of quantum field theory. If a wormhole contained sufficient exotic matter, whether naturally occurring or artificially added, it could theoretically be used as a method of sending information or travelers through space.
