Q&A

Could you carry a wormhole through another wormhole?

Okay, let's assume that travel between star systems is done through stable, stationary wormholes on the outer boundaries of each system. This alone is slightly magic for now, of course, but let's roll with it.

I want to solve the light speed problem for communications as well. Obviously, communications between both systems as a whole could use the connecting wormhole, but communications between distant things within a system would still be delayed if using normal means.

Our understanding of quantum entanglement, at the moment, suggests it's actually kind of useless for communication, so I was wondering considering tiny wormholes leading to a central communications hub. But, I wonder, if your ship has a tiny microscopic wormhole it's carrying around, what happens when it carries it through that big one?

Wormholes are three-dimensional tunnels through four-dimensional space, what happens when they cross like that? Obviously, any answer would be theory at best, conjecture at worst.
