A wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature that would fundamentally be a shortcut connecting two separate points in spacetime that could connect extremely far distances such as a billion light years or more, short distances, such as a few feet, different universes, and in theory, different points in time. A wormhole is much like a tunnel with two ends, each in separate points in spacetime.
So there, stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
Relatively speaking, of course.

I find it amazing that Einstein got the equation by considering the way the space and time of the universe behave.
That's real dangerous hair for you.

Nurse I use Wiki to confirm what I already understand, you could never do this cold

Yes I suppose space and time have to be something real if we are able to measure them.
Point taken.

Pickle, correct but as E=Mc2 derives from Special Relativity, it has to be a consideration because SR is the relationship between space and time

Far as I can tell, the equation is supposed to tell us how much energy we get if we convert all of a unit of mass into energy.
This is the amount of mass times speed of light squared, all for reasons Uncle Albert worked out but I which can't get my head round. Anyway, time only seems to come to it as a abstract unit that allows us to express the speed of light. No?

Just a caveat here, all references to c implys the speed of light in a vacuum

There is a theory that the inflation of the universe after the big bang, actually exceeded the speed of light
Just a theory mind

'beyond the speed of light'??
First, as far as we know nothing can travel faster than light.
Second, even if you could figure out to travel at light speed you would not want to, because it would kill you.
But we can travel very much faster than we do now.As I said before, the rockets we have used this far in various space missions are exceptionally slow. It would take 9 months just to get to Mars, for example, and that's the next door planet.

OK, no reference to time as a constant while all the other elements of reality are constant.

Not quite you said no reference to time in E-Mc2, but that's what the whole idea about relativity is
Time is not constant, it's only relative, the only constant in all of that is c
