Using this idea, Thorne and his colleagues proposed constructing a wormhole tunnel 600 million miles in circumference, with Casimir plates separated by only 400 proton diameters at the midpoint. Time travelers would have to somehow open doors in these plates to pass through the wormhole. The mass required for construction? Two hundred million times the mass of the sun. These are projects only a supercivilization could attempt--not something for 21st century engineers...
