as my reply to the ross 348 wh. i dont think it should be like that, what physics would allow something to move one way and then not let it move the other?

What if WHs opened up only if they were usable, and when they wern't active, they just wernt there at all? Sounds reasonable, but how the WHs work is fine by me....i can create my own WH.

The basic flaw in your question is that you asked for an actual reality based explaination. If wormholes actually exist, the gravometric forces within would be so powerful that no vessel or any other object could pass through one intact.
However, I agree, that wormhole you refer to is a real pain.

youd need a wormhole with a diamater roughly 5 times greater then that of our suns if i remember correctly, to safely transport a homemade cookie thru it
the whs in DS couldnt safely bring a spec of dust thru
dont be looking for reality in a game that uses theoretical technology =P

Technically speaking, no, Wormholes are quite "unrealistic". It's been a while since i've thoroughly read material on the matter, but what i remember goes something like this...
No, a wormhole to transport a cookie would not have to be 10 times the diameter of the sun. It'd probably have to have "10 times the MASS/ENERGY of the sun", but i'm pretty sure it's more. To transport a reasonably sized spaceship would require most all of the energy in the visible universe. This energy would be to enlarge the subatomic wormholes that occur every nanosecond (probably less, i don't remember) at the quantum level.
A one way wormhole is asanine. Wormholes themselves are unrealistic, but that's all part of the game. If a wormhole is one way, at LEAST make the side that DOESN"T work invisible. Don't have an anomaly on the side that is against the one-way-edness. Just go through the wormhole on the side that works and it dumps you where you SHOULD see the other side, but the other side wormhole doesn't work. This is unrealistic as well, but it saves a hell of a lot of time; you know, jumping to it, going toward it... going THROUGH it, turning around and then finding a place to go die due to lack of excitement and the inability to go anywhere.

and dying because you thought it was your road to safety

They should switch between an "offline" and "online" mode.
Say a different or smaller star graphic could be used for an online, not enough gravitational blah blah to pull it in etc.
and as it went into "online" mode it got bigger, and you can probably get the point of what i mtrying to say already.
Anyway, my idea ^

Well, I commend those who tried to apply real world physics theories to this discussion, and thus, so will I.
[/spooky man voice]Imagine if you will... a place[/end voice]
WAIT! No, let me start again.
Okay, isn't it at least possible that due to the extreme gravitational and time distortion that an atom could be either compressed further to maybe a plasma (or possibly an atomic/wave state beyond that of plasma which we haven't seen yet) to force the atoms through the narrow opening of the wormhole. Or on the other hand, possibly the atoms would lose their quantum signature (atoms have 16 different ways in which they spin that determine their quantum signature) and be forced into a pure energy state during the time in which they are inside the event horizon which would most definitely exist at each end and connecting the wormhole ends together.
[/spooky man voice]Notice how the newbies put all of their attention[/end voice]
HEY! Stop that! But seriously, I don't think that wormholes are completely out of the realm of reality.

Heh! Reality... In a game with ships the size of a small planet that fly at FTL speeds...
