Reading Hawking is a toil, I read his lectures and find a lot of talk but getting some meat is not easy,,,may I suggest you read his stuff on gravity...you feel as if he has offerred a definitive view but ...no meat...in my humble opinion....my point with worm holes was I feel the theory has made a leap without credibility given it seems that they envisage a folding of space in the same way as one would fold a sheet of paper..as I said.,,
AND from there folk have grabbed the idea and off we go again
... I think physics deserves a more sensible approach and not put fanciful ideas out there to give the movie industry concepts to promolgate
