Probably why it says 'simuate' in the title and in several places in the article...?
To be fair its not a good piece, it's clickbait and doesn't really explain the experiment. The work had two purposes: to explore Leonard Susskind's idea that quantum entanglement and the wormholes in General Relativity are somehow the same thing; and to test some ideas on whether it would be (theoretically) possible to stabilise a wormhole long enough to travel through one.

So do we think they are going to stop there? Who gives someone the right to possibly rupture space and time in the future on behalf of the entire solar system? I'm scared of this. It's like Elon Musk's destruction of the astronomical study of the night sky on steroids.

I wasn't saying anything about that. Did I get on your thread? I'm pretty sure you have misunderstood my comment and straight-up attacked while accusing me of argument-baiting, but it could be something else, too. I was the one asking why one scientist or a madman gets to jeopardize the future of an entire sector of the universe when megalomaniacal individuals decide they can do it. You asked me to explain how Elon Musk applied to one individual ruining the planet and I gave you a link. Then I explained how one person ruined night astronomy as an example. Maybe you should try close reading before you argue semantics: https://www.commonsense.org/education/top-picks/resources-for-close-reading-and-literary-analysis-lessons
. First, please try decaf. Also, I accept your apology.
