In other words, could both throats of a TW wormhole be the same place? Is that a valid solution to GR? I'm not even trying to figure out how such a thing could come about, or be built.... but does the math work?

Why throats?

Why not assholes?
When Wormholes have throats,
they must have something on the other side.
Topology isn't physics.

=======================================
Of course it works, I just leaned back in my chair, went
through one and I was back at my desk instantly. I was beside myself with joy,
but Joy took a left turn at Albuquerque and got the carrot Bugs left for
dinner.

I carried several Hawking books to the waste paper dump for recycling.
Hawking's work is toilet paper now, and that's where it belongs.
One small booklet still lurks somewhere
which I kept 'cause it's in English.

Thank you. I won't be returning to this newsfroup again because

it's obviously gone to pot. 7 replies and only one even tangentially
on topic.

I though Wormholes were attributed to Weyl. At least that's what Wheeler told me.

In a sense all wormholes would be like that. IOW, the whole of spacetime is part of the wormhole. Wormholes are in the realm of mathematical fantasy, IMO. I could be wrong.
