Are there wormholes in the universe?

Wormholes, aka "Einstein-Rosen bridges," were once thought to connect quasars and black holes. It is now known that quasars ARE black holes, and there is no evidence they are connected to anything. Black holes are pinched off spaces of our universe, exotic and strange, but not mystically mysterious. It remains theoretically possible we could manufacture connections to other points in space-time or other dimensions (universes) through "wormholes," or something like them, however what is possible is sometimes also unlikely. Wormholes are not particularly likely.
