  • Let’s assume a big stable wormhole and the gravitational forces of surrounding supporting objects are balanced perfectly, so a human can pass through in a small space capsule in the center.

    In this scenario, you would just see the region of the other side twice and the space in between, a circle around the hole, stretched until you’re going through. While going through, some objects on the outside would look stretched.

    If it’s not perfectly balanced, you won’t survive going through without being squished or torn. If you come too close to avsurrounding supporting object, you’ll get slingshotted away or will fall into them.


  • I’m in EU and I have 2 different internet connections without a data cap, because I work from home and don’t want to commute to the office if one type is down. Both have bandwith caps tho (that way they are cheaper and it’s still good enough for me).

    However, I want to suggest you use traffic shaping. In Linux, I used “trickle” many years ago, so I could download things without disturbing my family streaming or video calling. Idk how it works in other OSes, but the idea is to send a big download through a special network filter that slows it down to your configured bandwith, delaying it so much that you don’t reach your bandwidth cap. (The dowload will take months.) Also, I think I have seen something like this built into Steam and Filezilla. If I remember correctly Steam also had the option to pause downloads manually, but you have to remember to keep an eye on it, if you do that.
