      If you ignore physics, you are basically a god / god-like being, and can do anything you want.

          And a lot of the theories about how they function involve having such a large mass that it punches a whole in spacetime. Which takes several orders of magnitude more energy than humans have ever produced. Thus making them at will kinda breaks entropy as a concept

            So this is probably stupid on my part, because I don’t know a helluva lot about the math or anything and I’m also just being silly but reading this made me think about this:

            What if the wormhole already existed, but was really small? Would it be possible in the physics to stretch the hole larger without using a ton of energy? Or would that, too, require assloads of energy we couldn’t actually produce?

              I vaguely recall a story like that. They couldn’t manipulate wormholes but it looked like that because they were common and the superpower was being able to find them
