I mean, no matter how we move an object in space, it would have to move in three dimensions, based on common sense.. "length, width, and height coordinates. If you think about it, with these three numbers, we can actually locate pretty much any object in the universe. But a wormhole, would be some kind of fourth dimension. What I'm saying is nowhere in our universe (that we can see) do we see objects suddenly disappearing or drifting off into another universe. I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't possible, it's just that to me, if something like this exist at all, it would have to be smaller than an atom. Warp drive seems like it could be a possibility if we use quantum theory. But I don't see the possibility if we use Einstein's theory of special relativity, which is based on speed vs mass.

Actually a wormhole wouldn't be another direction, it is just the 4 dimensions we know being twisted out of shape. Also the work drive concept actually does obey relativity because the object itself isn't moving, but space time itself.
