    They actually are tunnels that connect to a mirror universe
    where time runs backwards. Not useful for jumping light years
    through the galaxy as in tons of sci-fi.


    Not useful for anything and untestable. It's just an attempt to make QFT slightly less incompatible with GR by messing with the equations to
    create an arrow of time since QM doesn't either need or have one. As
    with GR to an observer inside of each of these mirror universes time
    would still be seen as only going forwards. The only difference is that
    the new equations predict greater undulations of energy density in
    certain regions of space-time which are bigger and thus easier to detect
    than those predicted by the existing SM, but still impossible to measure
    using any instrument that exists today or that we might be able to build
    in the far future.

    Maybe ... maybe not.
