Question about wormholes not that complex.?

Considering that wormholes bend the space & time fabric and if you go through it you may travel to a different of (space) and a different past of (time) possibly. Then Consider this:

a time = the time you go through a wormhole., a = b+5years

b time = the time you get to going through a wormhole. b = a- 5years

c time = the time right before b time. c = a - 5 years - 1day

Where you wormhole to is where you are presently during b time.

You are in c time and you are approaching b time when you hit b time wouldn't you be 5 years older when you reach b time.

think about it is sort of a loop and makes you think.

    There are no such things as wormholes, they are pure fictional.

    But if they were real, they I guess this would happen. You would also have to take relativity into consideration. Traveling at the speed of light stops time, and stops you from getting older. when you get through the wormhole, the b time and the relativity will balance out, most likely keeping you at about the same age.

    First of all, I'm pretty sure wormholes aren't the bending of spacetime, they're the ripping of it. You can't technically bend spacetime in the correct manner to create a wormhole (I remember seeing it in a nova episode)So wait, both b and c time include a-5 years? But why would c time necessarily include - 1 day. There is the factor of the speed you are traveling at through the wormhole- something entirely unknown. If you were traveling at light speed, you would have to take into consideration the effects that would have. Also, couldn't the entire concept of time be reconfigured and it these two parallel times could be separated in different ways then we would assume? Since wormholes are completely theoretical, time could behave in unimaginable ways, since a wormhole would technically bend 5th dimensional space. (Cause isn't the 5th dimension manipulation of time?) But yeah, I definitely understand the loop concept--wow, I'm confusing myself

    That would depend on the speed you would be going through the worm. If your speed is nearing the speed of light, time slows down considerably (by decades). There are too many factors to consider, and based on our limited experience with wormholes, it seems improbable that time would not be warped by even more factors.

    You just blew my mind Oo. I think you're right, but what happens if the wormhole you takes you into the future? Hmm.
