I've sent him the link, and his first comment was 'That would explain the poor grammar and spelling' (i.e. it could well be official). I'll let you know when he gives me some proper feedback.
In 1985, CalTech physicists M. Morris and K. Thorne discovered the principle of traversable wormholes based on Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (published in 1915). Morris and Thorne and Morris et al. did this as an academic exercise at the request of Carl Sagan, who had completed the draft of his novel Contact.
This little exercise led to the development of two new cottage industries in spacetime physics research: the study of traversable wormholes and the study of time machines.
Wormholes are hyperspace tunnels through spacetime connecting either remote regions within our universe or two different universes; they even connect different dimensions and, different times.
Space travelers would enter one side of the tunnel and exit the other, passing through the throat along the way. The travelers would move at c (c is the speed of light, 3 x 108m/s) through the wormhole and therefore not violate Special Relativity, but external observers would view the travelers as traversing multi-light-year distances through space at Faster Than the Speed of Light (FTL).
A "Stargate" is a special class of traversable wormhole … [an] equation that possesses very simple physics and flat entry and exit openings.
I'm going to send that to my ex-MI friend to see if it passes the sniff test for him, because if it does....dayam!
Please do, it would be interesting to hear perspective
