Unanswerable questions

[Finn]

Just finished the seventh season of DS9. Some old questions that used to keep me pondering came to me. . There were a couple that seemed...unanswerable.

I always wondered what the wormhole looks like from the other side. I don't the Gamma Quadrant. I mean from the other side of the..."accretion disk" of the wormhole"??? We even did see the other side of the stargate wormhole time to time on SG-1...

Have any of you thought about questions like that?

Would have been...epic if we saw that during one of the stock overviews of the station.

Have any of you thought about questions like that?

Moreover, where did the worms go?

 

[TommyR01D]

They showed the Gamma end of the wormhole a few times. It looked identical to the Alpha end.

 

[uniderth]

Yes, unfortunately they depicted it more like a funnel rather than the more realistic sphere.

 

[Tenacity]

By "other side" did you mean from inside the wormhole? I don't believe they ever showed it opening or closing from inside, they are traveling throught the passage and then the shot shows the wormhole opening from the outside.

 

[Kor]

No, he's talking about the outside of the wormhole, but on the backside of the "funnel" instead of the front angle we always see it from.

I don't think we would be able to see a wormhole, curved space is as invisible as normal space, only if something were to move behind the wormhole then it would look distorted like it was seen through a giant prism.

Maybe you'll see Q hiding behind the wormhole and laughing :-)

You mean Q is having a ball? You know Q ball!

 

[uniderth]

Boooo.

 

[Kor]

A wormhole might look something like the thing in "Interstellar."

TNG sort of got it right with the spherical depiction of the Barzan Wormhole (though it appeared to have an actual form rather than just being the result of seeing the other side through a lensing effect) in The Price, but Voyager turned the Delta Quadrant terminus into a funnel in False Prophets:

By then it was well-established that all wormhole entries looked like funnels.
