The implications of such technology are far-reaching and must be thoroughly examined before any adoption takes place.

First and foremost, there is the issue of safety. The concept of wormhole-based interstellar travel is highly speculative and not yet fully understood. As Dr. Stephen Hawking, a theoretical physicist, warns, “The dangers of wormholes are not fully understood and there is a real risk that any attempts to use them could have catastrophic consequences.”

This concern is further exacerbated by the fact that SpaceX is a private corporation and not a government agency with oversight and regulations in place. This means that there is no guarantee that proper safety measures will be put in place before any attempts at wormhole-based interstellar travel takes place.

Moreover, the idea of a private corporation having the power to manipulate space and time raises serious ethical concerns. As Dr. Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist, warns, “The manipulation of space and time by a private corporation is a dangerous precedent. It could lead to unforeseen consequences and a loss of control over…
