Wormholes are theoretical.

It is unlikely we will ever be able to travel through one if they are proven to exist.

Theorectically how long would it take sound to travel 1 parsect if it could travel through space?

The question is irrelevant, since sounds cannot be transmitted through space.


How long does it take to travel through space?

With present technology it only takes a few minute to reach 'space'. To travel elsewhere would depend on your destination.


What are some problems with exploring space?

The main problem is that everything in space is much to far to explore with modern technology. Even at the speed of light, it would take a lifetime just to get across our galaxy. A spaceship can't hold enough food to last that long. If we ever travel space, it will be with wormholes. Scientists believe that a wormhole can be opened with a substance known as antimatter, and it will take us through space and time in an instant. That would be nice.


What is speed in a wormhole?

I'm guessing you're thinking of that Stargate TV show? Where they step into a wormhole and fly through it somehow?? Real wormholes, if they even exist, are very different. Inside a wormhole you follow the same rules as in normal space, it is a tunnel of normal space punched through spacetime. Think of it like this: You are on one side of a VERY big mountain and you need to get to the other side. You would have to walk a VERY long way over the mountain and that would take a VERY long time. It would be a lot simpler if there were a tunnel going under the mountain it would make the journey A LOT easier. When going through the tunnel you would be walking at the same speed but you would be going a shorter distance to get from one side of the mountain to the other, thus saving time making the same journey. This is how a wormhole would work in real life. You would still have to travel through it at conventional speeds but you would need to go a shorter distance through the 'tunnel' you have made. It would be as if you were going far faster without actually going any faster.


How long would it take sound waves to reach Pluto?

Sound waves can't travel through space.


Which gases does sound travel through?

Sound can travel as long as there is something for it to travel through. This could be a gas (such as air), a liquid (such as water) or a solid (such as a metal). In outer space there is no air for the sound to travel though, so astronauts can not talk with each other unless they use a radio. Radio waves and light waves can travel through space, that is why we are able to receive light from the sun. Source: www.examville.com

If you shout is anybody out there how long will it take to reach the nearest star?

That won't work. Sound won't travel through empty space.


How long does it take for light to travel through space?

It takes one second for every 299,792 km (186,282 miles) it has to cover.


Is it possible for the space-time within a wormhole to contain a volume such that it is an inhabited sphere and any inhabitants of it would be unable to ascertain they were inside a wormhole?

What I think you are describing is the creation of a universe by pinching off a piece of ours. This is theoretically plausible, but the energies required are far beyond our capabilities. A wormhole, by definition, will have two throats that intersect "normal" space, and will not have a spherical topology. As long as those throats are open those within will be able to observe the outside universe. After closing the throats, through observation and measurement, the inhabitants could ascertain the topology of their universe. We are currently attempting to do the same thing.
