Information seems to be very fundamental to physics, look at all the debate over the black hole Information paradox. Look up quantum information theory, and Erik Verlinde's work claiming gravity arises from information theory... I personally feel such theories that consider information fundamental are much closer to the 'truth'... but given this isn't my field and that the math is beyond my education that opinion shouldn't really count for anything... :) But there are physicists that have proposed that spacetime arises from the entanglement of all particles now scattered across the observable universe… its related to the holographic universe theory…

HYPOTHETICALLY, what IF there were a way to make a wormhole? Obviously we can't now, but if we could, would it not be then possible to send information though it? Again we're not going faster than light, just taking a shortcut between two points at subliminal speeds within the wormhole. <blockquote>"There are lots of indications that information is very important and special … and there is speculation that entanglement underlies the structure of space time…"</blockquote> This was a very vague comment. Can you expand on that? Einstein and others have theorized that wormholes could exist because of the way gravity effects space/time.

And to get clicks the reporter screams "they made a wormhole !" No, no they did not, not by any stretch of the imagination. It's a mathematical trick to exploit similar physics problems to maybe learn something.... This happens a lot, every year there is a report like this, and the scientists behind it should know better and make sure the reporting doesn't go off in this crazy direction.

There are lots of indications that information is very important and special … and there is speculation that entanglement underlies the structure of space time…
