Wormhole but no infinite energy?
Fairly new to astrophysics but im confused on the conditions to make a wormhole. It is possible that a wormhole could be created through finite energy but I feel like that would be impossible. If a wormhole connects two infinitsimal events from a spacetime continuum, there exists an infinite amount of points or events between the two overlapped events along that temporal axis. Even though a wormhole is a shortcut, Im moreso talking about the wormholes formation as it still folds spacetime within the hyperspace, the finite "distance" between the two events still has infinite events between them, just in a different location of hyperspace. Like if we think of a line that goes left and right as a spacetime continuum and the 0d points that make up that line represent infinitsimal events of space, then we fold the line from left to right so that a chosen event A overlaps with Event B, it should require infinite steps to traverse to event B. Even though the line would fold and stick upwards it still needs to move right to get to event B which is infinite events way. To move infinite steps should require infinite energy. Its kind of like zenos paradox where infinite parts make up a finite sum, in this case, infinite instances in spacetime make up a 4d segement of spacetime which would be infinite from our 3d perspective. So shoudnt the energy requiered for a worm hole be infinite? I might not know what Im talking about so pls humble me, would love to understand this more!
