    $\begingroup$ I wouldn't say #2 is a least physics-breaking way, you just start to exist above literally any laws of physics. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ There is no proof that traveling through a wormhole would be instantaneous. To preserve relativity, it is likely that it would take just as long to go through the wormhole as it would to travel in real time at c. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @JustinThymetheSecond The internal length of a wormhole is not constrained by external factors. You can construct wormhole solutions of GR that take arbitrarily long or short times to traverse. So if you're building them artificially, just build the ones that are instantaneous. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @SeanOConnor If we are in a simulation, our physics, a mathematical model of how the word behaves, will be the model of stuff within this simulation. The "überphysics" of the outside word can be literally anything and has no relevance to our physics. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Neinstein Quantum physics broke physics quite flagrantly. It also provides a perfectly legitimate work-around to 'physics'. Yet it answers questions that 'physics' can not even attempt to. $\endgroup$
