Wes,
I enjoyed your post and if you can do that with just two beers, think what you could accomplish with a 6 pack.
On the subject of worm holes, the TV series Star Gate kind of touches on what I was trying to say about two places huge distances apart could be brought together if space were warped. They step into the gate and presto, a few seconds at most later they are on another planet many light years away. This again goes back to the professor who used the piece of paper and two dots and showed that by folding the paper so the dots were together you would be able to step from one to the other with no loss of time to yourself. But to those still in normal time, you may have been gone for many years. I believe one of Einstein's theories deals with this that as you approach the speed of light, time for you slows down, but for the people still on Earth it would stay at a constant speed. There fore you might age 1 year while they aged 100 years. I know this is over simplified, but the theory of relativity does cover several things. And if you don't believe me, just look around. Nearly everyone has relatives.
