    Where did I say anything about wormholes in that? But there is experimental evidence for them which you did miss anyway:
    http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9802106
    Also ANU physicists have found already found a few which they will call "candidates" that they will go public with soon enough, in search for GNACHOs which are a result of wormholes. Officially three groups are reviewing MACHO search data now looking for these.

    Trilairian,
    No, there is no experimental evidence that wormholes exist. There is only a hypothesis as to how they might be detected if they do exist.
    You might want to link to your sources. I can give a link to statement almost identical to yours from a UFO site. They also hypothesize that gamma ray bursts are caused when alien spacecraft exit wormholes. Do you think that hypothesis is supported by evidence also?

    Just saying no and quoting UFO sights does not provide any kind of real evidence for your position. I proved that there was such evidence for my position by providing a peer reviewed paper. Try doing the same.

    Trilairian, from your link:
    As I stated, contrary to your claim, your link does not provide any evidence that wormholes exist. I placed in bold the agreement of this fact taken from your link. As I stated, your 'paper' only suggests a hypothesis by which they might be detected if, in fact, they do exist.

    No you didn't. I posted a peed reviewed article and you then posted a UFO sight as if it were a rebuttle. UFO sights are not evidence that the peer reviewed evidence doesn't exist.

    Trilairian,
    You posted a link to an article that contained NO EVIDENCE that wormholes exist, only a hypothesis of how to detect them. You also stated the following:
    You posted no link backing up that possible evidence, so I went looking for more information about it by way of google. What I came up with were a couple links to UFO sites. I assume they copied the same popular press article you did unless you can give the ORIGIN of your statement as a peer-reviewed paper. Don't play dense and try to obfuscate the issue of evidence.

    Lying doesn't constitute a vallid arguement either.
    "It is shown that the main features of wormhole lensing events upon the light of distant Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are similar to some types of already observed Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). "

    Trilairian,
    Trilairian, your definition of evidence is different than mine. The whole paper, from 1998, is a about a hypothesis that some types of time-varying Gamma Ray Bursts might be due to a wormhole moving between us and a distant AGN. I have previously read in other places that wormholes are hypothesized to have a kind of opposite Shapiro delay effect, accelerating light as it passes through the wormhole. Terres, I think in conjunction with his Ph.D thesis, speculated that some currently observed GRB's might be a signature of wormholes passing in front of a distant AGN. He suggested that a search be undertaken to determine if this was the case. It has been over 8 years and I have seen nothing to confirm this hypothesis. The TITLE of the paper itself is: Might some Gamma Ray Bursts be an observable signature of natural wormholes? Now, I hardly think that constitutes EVIDENCE.

    I also can find no mention of any evidence that currently makes wormholes likely as an explanation for any observed phenomena.

    No the title isnt evidence. The data is.
