Wormholes as Weapons of Mass Destruction

+0
−0

A wormhole (or Einstein"“Rosen bridge) is a speculative structure linking disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations solved using a Jacobian matrix and determinant. A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends, each at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations or different points of time). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

I want to obliterate my enemy by opening one end of a wormhole at the surface of the Sun and the other end in mid-air above my enemy's city.

Question (edited)

I make a 100 metre radius wormhole at a height of 1km above the Earth's surface connected to the surface of the Sun at the other end. I'd like to incinerate a city of radius 10km. The hole will be open for one second.

What will be the effect on the city - will it

(a) melt into a glass-like substance?

(b) evaporate leaving a clean bowl-shaped crater?

(c) suck the Earth through the wormhole by the force of gravity?

(d) something else?
