if interstellar wormhole transport is possible, shouldn't the technologically 
advanced civilizations of our galaxy already be sending tiny accelerated 
wormhole portals in our direction? Then, where are they?    Perhaps they are 
already here. Cosmic ray physicists have occasionally observed strange super-
energetic cosmic ray detection events, the Centauro events.   These are cosmic 
ray particles with incredibly high energies that, when striking Earth's upper 
atmosphere, produce a large shower of particles that contains too many gamma 
rays and too few mu leptons, as compared to more normal cosmic ray shower 
events. The Centauro events presently lack an explanation based on any known 
physics.  However, an accelerated wormhole mouth with a large electric charge 
should have a large gamma-ray to mu lepton production ratio in such collisions, 
since it would have large electromagnetic interactions but no strong or weak 
interactions with the matter with which it collided.    It is interesting to 
contemplate the possibility that some advanced civilization may be mapping the 
galaxy with accelerated wormhole portals, sending little time-dilated 
observation points out into the cosmos as peep-holes for viewing the wonders of 
the universe.  And perhaps, when a particularly promising or interesting scene 
comes into view, the peep hole is halted and expanded into a portal through 
which a Visitor can pass.    Clearly we need to gain much more understanding of 
wormholes. They could provide our pathway to the stars."
