What would happen with the light (heat) between two points, should we create a wormhole?

Lets say you create a wormhole that connects two points VERY far apart. This would happen by compressing the distance between them, right?

So if the distance is compressed, the light (heat) between the two points would be compressed as well, and thus, it would generate A LOT of heat.

Where would this heat go, and what would happen if this heat is compressed in such a small period of time (almost instantly)?

    Compressing space has to do with warp speed travel through space. Just a fabric or the sea can be compressed as waves so space has such a capacity as well. Wormholes are short cuts through inner-dimensional space that allows that which travels through the wormhole to reach its destination extremely faster than light ever could. Wormholes are like sub-universal tunnels, with the capacity of faster than light speed travel, through the fabric of space itself.

    @ miles dawer

    that is a bit of an arrogant answer there no one can say that something doesn't exist in this universe involving physics and matter take dark matter we people said that it was a myth until http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-1481... along time ago people thought that we were the only planet and other worlds DID NOT POSSIBLY EXIST

    unicorns and leprechauns agree are myth probably based on tales told over so many years like the childhood game Chinese whispers

    as for what would happen since theory says about WH are just two points were space and time are bent to join at the same point i would have thought light and heat would pass throw like it dose normally between point with no change since it is only a bend in space and not actually changing it

    Warm holes are not "compressing" distance as you stated. They are more like short cuts through an extra dimension. Imagine the curved space-time of the Universe as a the surface of the Earth. Normally to go from point A to point B we need to travel along the surface of the Earth. A warm hole would be like digging a tunnel through Earth instead of traveling along the surface.

    I would guess, that some light would escape and some would ripple and some would be thrown off in jets. My best guess is that there would be only one "wormhole" and that it's one way. What begins are questions of where, when, why. With all the news on dark matter today who's to say you'd re-compose anywhere even close to what you were. Any device would have to be so stable that it seems impossible today.

    There must be more numbers than are let on.

    Wormholes DON'T EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Unicorns and Leprachauns are just as imaginary as wormholes.
