The wormholes of general relativity in English fields?

The crop artists certainly raised the intellectual level of their pictures this year! One finds it hard to imagine that any human fakers could lay out three stunning "wormhole" pictures with such amazing use of 3-D perspective, and also an advanced theoretical content that only a few physicists on Earth might easily understand. 

For a novice, see the entry "Wormhole" on Wikipedia, and then "Roman ring". Two pictures of theoretical wormholes are shown below. Their visual resemblance to recent crop pictures seems obvious.




Honestly I did not understand details of those three new crop patterns: Avebury Trusloe, Saverlake and New Barn, until I learned modern "wormhole" theory, which is a branch of general relativity.  

Avebury Trusloe shows in schematic form a "two wormhole Roman ring": notice how its left and right sides are reversed, to indicate that two wormholes go in opposite directions (a critical design feature).

Savernake shows a "four wormhole Roman ring", similar to the one discussed by Visser in Physical Review D 55, 5212-4, 1997. When more than two wormholes are added to any ring, the physical system works better.

New Barn seems to show one wormhole imbedded within another, a novel configuration not yet apparently studied in the peer-reviewed academic literature.


Concerning these theoretical constructs, Visser commented: "The realization that wormholes generically seem to imply time travel can be traced back to an observation by Roman. A 'Roman configuration' was thus the first two-wormhole time machine constructed by Morris and Thorne. Finally, the N-wormhole 'Roman ring' can holistically be close to forming a perfect time machine, even if its individual components are perfectly well-behaved."  

In summary, have increasingly sophisticated human fakers enlisted Stephen Hawking or some other space-time theorist in their cause? Or are we finally being shown the advanced space-time physics of the crop artists? Which might explain where they come from, how they can know future events, and how they can know long-forgotten past events?  

In the latter case, by sending messages to us, might they be trying to change the past? According to general relativity, wormholes are absolutely necessary for sending messages into the past. Tidal forces within any wormhole, however, might make it difficult for living creatures to pass safely.  

First-hand witnesses can judge better than me, whether those new wormhole-type crop patterns were made by humans or some other agency? Some witnesses report unusual energies at those sites (for example "New Barn" on CCC).  

A good test of the wormhole hypothesis might be to see whether certain crop pictures can predict any unexpected, major, near-future events on Earth. Thus, another small tsunami swept over Java yesterday. Both of the Wayland's Smithy patterns from August 2005 and July 2006 seem to indicate early August 2007, for something similar but larger, if we have interpreted them correctly? A big "if"!  And the current season is not over yet.  

Einstein would have loved crop circles. His 1936 paper with Rosen first proposed "gravity waves", while wormholes were originally called "Einstein-Rosen bridges". For a colourful history of this important effect, including its proof by Feymann in 1957, see the entry "Sticky bead argument" on Wikipedia. 

Hope that was clear and helpful. At least it offers a cogent new hypothesis about the true origins of this mysterious phenomenon, that may be tested through further observation.
