I am not sure if I read you right. Sorry if I don't... The whole idea of a wormhole is to circumvent the problem of the speed of light. A wormhole would, like you say, have a shorter path "as the crow flies". And shortening the path is its purpose. It does not teleport. So what? Yes... The only way to create a wormhole is creating a massive gravity field. Depending on the shape of the wormhole odd things can happen. Where does it lead - another location in space, or in time, or to a parallel universe, or to closed time-like curves? There are a lot of peer reviewed articles on arXiv.org on these topics. Have a look there if you don't mind a little physics, cosmology and math. But waving wormholes away like they would end up as black holes without backing up that theory doesn't do the current scientists in that field justice.vhatever wrote...
Speed of light is still important to a wormhole. A wormhole would only be a shortcut, but much like the drive to the store might be 15 minutes driver, as the crow flies it would only be 2 minutes. Just shortens the trip. It does not teleport things from one place to some other place, only provides a shorter route. I think the only way to create a wormhole would be to create a massive gravity well. However, you would probably need the energy required to make a blackhole--- and you'd probably just end up creating a blackhole. Heh. In fact, a wormhole would act a LOT like a blackhole if darkmatter works as some claim it does.
From a game point of view we might better look for a plot device than falsify any wormhole theory.
