The problem with wormholes or blackholes say, is where do they lead? If you were to "plant" a wormhole in the Andromeda Galaxy and then next to Earth, that still leaves us with the dilemma of getting their and "planting" a wormhole.
I still say 1000 years, hopefully they develop good cryogen technology soon too.  |
Wormholes and Black Holes are pretty different concepts though. We can thank science fiction for creating confusion on the two theories. A wormhole is a theoretically a tunnel or transit system per se. Where a black hole is just an infinitely dense collection of matter. Even if you could enter a black hole, time would end before you could actually observe the interior due to time dilation. I read an article on the subject I believe Hawking wrote, that basically implied the time required to cross the event horizon would be infinite.
Your point however, about planting an exit point of a wormhole is a pretty valid argument, never thought of that.
