This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Dominus NoxThe implications of something like that, especially if it's clearly artificial, are mind boggling if for no other reason then it proves the presence of alien intelligence, and one that's more advanced than humanity. It would have to have a major impact on the game world for there to be any consistency.

As Balbinus noted, and there's an ongoing academic debate on the nature of the wormhole, and whether if it's an artificial construct or a natural phenomenon (however slim the chance that it would connect two systems with planets able to sustain life).

The common perception of the public is that the wormhole is artificial and was created by God, aliens or whatever. In the end, there's no tangible proof of anything (so far) and its existence has little bearing in daily affairs, so people just believes whatever they want and keep going with their lives.
