Black Holes Could Actually Be Colliding Wormholes

When two wormholes collide, they could produce ripples in space-time that ricochet off themselves. Future instruments could detect these gravitational "echoes," providing evidence that these hypothetical tunnels through space-time actually exist, a new paper suggests.

Space time from our perspective is a cube dimension where the faces of each cube face fluctuates within space time.

When measuring an orbital insertion point the entry point has to be exact otherwise the orbital insertion could cause the craft to be off by tens of thousands of miles.

A wormhole is curved space time. How would the insertion point on the wormholes surface be calculated to ensure that the exit point would be exactly where the ship needed to be relative to a planet thousands of light years away?

There would have to be some means of measuring the space time inside of a wormhole to coincide with the distance outside of the wormhole to ensure a correct insertion point.

How do you determine the insertion point into a system with planets that is 1,000 light years away when that distance is contained within a wormhole that is only a 1,000 kilometers in diameter?
 
Or perhaps black holes are boson stars? We need a few more years of observations from the upgraded LIGO sites to be able to test hypotheses such as these. There are glimmers of echoes from black hole mergers that suggest structure exists just inside the event horizon, but the statistical significance of such observations is still way too low to be convincing.
