Reply to comment by fnub577 in Scientists simulate ‘baby’ wormhole without rupturing space and time by TwoMoreDays

Probably why it says 'simuate' in the title and in several places in the article...?

To be fair its not a good piece, it's clickbait and doesn't really explain the experiment. The work had two purposes: to explore Leonard Susskind's idea that quantum entanglement and the wormholes in General Relativity are somehow the same thing; and to test some ideas on whether it would be (theoretically) possible to stabilise a wormhole long enough to travel through one.
