At near-light speed: 2.5 million years.
At the speed of Helios II, the fastest spacecraft ever made: 10 billion years. (not accounting for the fact that the Milky Way and Andromeda will collide in 4 billion years)
At the speed of Mass Effect Non-Reaper FTL: 570 years.
At the speed of Mass Effect Reaper FTL: 228 years.
So if time dilation occurs after traversing the wormhole... we're looking at the game being set between 228-570 years after ME3?
Wormholes do not cause time dilation. Time dilation is caused exclusively by near-light speed velocities and near-infinite gravity. Wormholes involve neither.So if time dilation occurs after traversing the wormhole... we're looking at the game being set between 228-570 years after ME3?
While technically true, like I said earlier - the OP's basic concept is correct: Wormholes can allow for travel through time as well as space, and this is a viable solution in general relativity. It makes intuitive sense too, as spacetime is a unified construct and the wormhole is an extreme example of warped spacetime. The basic concept involves creating a wormhole, and then accelerating one end of it (there are various ways to theoretically achieve this) such that the destination end experiences the effects of time dilation relative to the departure end. Consequently, the traveler traverses both space and time."We Interstellar now?!" - BioWare
Really, this is all it amounts to. Just how Casey wanted ME3 to be Deux Ex: Human Revolution IN SPACE, the ME:A dev team wants it to be Interstellar: The Mass Effect Edition.
Wormhole travel doesn't cause time dilation because it doesn't involve near-light speed velocities. A wormhole is a shortcut through spacetime. The whole point of wormhole travel is to avoid time dilation.
This only applies if one of the apertures of the wormhole experiences time dilation, i.e if you were to put the wormhole exit on a ship travelling near the speed of light while keeping the wormhole entrance stationary. If both the entrance and exit are stationary, the wormhole will not experience any time dilation and therefore not result in future time travel.While technically true, like I said earlier - the OP's basic concept is correct: Wormholes can allow for travel through time as well as space, and this is a viable solution in general relativity.

It's better if the trip is unintentional. Otherwise what is stopping them going back or others coming through? I imagine they want to keep the galaxies isolated.
If it's done "conventionally", as in 200+ years journey, then another 200+ journey is a good reason to think twice before going right back

No not really. If we, at our current level of technology, could send an unmanned probe that would make the round trip in 400 years, we would. There is also no reason the reapers wouldn't have. IMO if the writers really want to separate the galaxies it should be much, much more difficult to cross.
Yeah and the round like thing is infact the targeting we see in the trailer.
Maybe those things were left behind by the people in leaks"the new protheans" . The thing through our ship travel.
True. We know from physics that "empty" space isn't exactly empty.
I don't know if you have an argument, but let's get back to my argument. You need a planet or a star to discharge the static electrical charge. What are the chances you'll bump into a rouge star on your journey to Andromeda? Not just one star, but one star for each time you have to discharge?
Maybe the trailer has an answer to this, listen the music when he travel through it, there is a gap between the moment he started the travel and when he reached his destination (in the music from the original track there is a 50 sec "something like that" or is just for the purpose of the trailer) , maybe this time the moments we travel will count( i don't think so) but will have to wait until N7 day to find out ...i hope
Please keep your extremities out of the wormhole.

How does it? If we originally were sent to explore Andromeda and then got "lost" in the wormhole, then that wouldn't negate the point of going to Andromeda.
I just gave you the reason in my previous post. I just don't understand why we would plot a course for another galaxy, when we haven't even explored 1% of our own Milky Way. Then I explained that the only reason to leave would be because we had to escape the Reapers.
The story takes place long after the events of ME3, but the journey to Andromeda will probably take a while, unless we're talking about a wormhole.
I might be a tad confused, but all I saw you say was it would not be possible with ME3 technology. At that point no one else had mentioned ME3 levels of technology, we just assumed that Bioware would explain it in the game. Just because you don't understand why they are in Andromeda does not mean that they don't have a good reason to go there. Your explanation that they are fleeing the Reapers is a valid one, but not the only one. It again hinges on your clinging to it being an event from around the time of ME3ish.
Ah wormholes, brings back memories....

But it has been stated the ME:A is set a long time after ME3, though no specific time frame has been mentioned. Why would you naturally assume it occurred prior or during ME 3? Even the OP mentions that it in the opening post.
They've also mentioned that it's not technically a sequel which many have assumed means that the game starts prior to the end of ME3, but ends after.

If it starts before the end of me3 then they have to take into account that the genophage might not be cured.

I don't really see how that would influence the game?
If might start with your character making a name for themselvesin the milkyway, then they get picked for the ARK mission prior to the Reaper invasion
Probably will be done through picking one of new origins.
If might start with your character making a name for themselvesin the milkyway, then they get picked for the ARK mission prior to the Reaper invasion, to ensure the survival of the different species of the milkyway.
I do like this idea
I have been wondering about this. It seems there is an "Ark" involved, so I am wondering if maybe this was a deep space colony project launched before the event of Mass Effect and even though it is after, the tech is from a previous era. They launched before Harbinger and got to Andromeda way after everything. This would make sense since potentially everything in the Milky Way is half organic, half artificial depending on the way you ended ME3. That would be a difficult thing to implement as an option as your previous choice would literally change every single skin of the game if they were there for that event.

Not really. Just have the green glow be something that fades in time and have everyone involved in the mission get cybernetic implants.
