"It is possible, verging on inevitable, that a wormhole with one endpoint in, say, Hawkins, IN with the other at, say, the North Pole will also connect different dates."
I am curious; my layman understanding (or representation) was that indeed you were travelling in time as much as space? Like, if you were to travel from A to the North Pole, it'd take you 6 months. A wormhole 'cuts' on the distance 'because' it 'adjusts' time i.e., you think you've arrived to the North Pole instantaneously (and maybe you have, as far as you're concerned) but the world around you is older by... well, maybe 6 months, maybe less, no idea how the physics stuff works.
What do you think of the above as a way to get your head around a wormhole for a non physics person?
