now this blows me away

If we can understand the nature of the conductivity of the gel, I would think it would not be long before we are able to manipulate it.

Perhaps we can someday simply follow the shortest pathway from one area of the gel to another.

Wormholes never made sense to me. At first they were conduits to another universe, which is absurd by definition. Then they were described as places where gravity 'folds in on itself'.

Uh Huh.

Warping space makes much more sense to my mechanical thinking. Warping, however, requires the manipulation of space-time which is accomplished by extremely high velocities. My conductivity theory would require no manipulation. There must be areas in the the universe that are less affected by the various forces of gravity, time, etc. Less dense areas, so to speak. Dots in the universe with below average static.

You simply connect the dots.
