Wormholes and such

And the sleeping idiot-god at the center of everything could wake up, thus ending the universe. Same difference.

One is possible based in science, the other...possibly based in science. I was just saying that it is possible, not that it is probable.

You're unlikely to get exponential uncontrolled growth of that sort using wormholes, anyway. It's generally considered that any wormholes arranged in such a way as to enable causality-violating space-time paths (which is likely if there's a lot of them and they're being flung around with black holes) would immediately collapse. Not that there's any clear mechanism for how a wormhole could form, anyway.
