You are agreeing with me that nothing can move spacetime. This means that Dr. Kip Thorne's theory of wormholes is bunk. So is the Wheeler and Feynman Absorber theory that postulates that waves can move in spacetime. Spacetime is a static mapping or collection of events. It is an abstract math construct and I think it is irresponsible for world renown scientists (such as Drs. Kip Thorne, Stephen Hawking and John Wheeler) to be talking about motion in spacetime and time travel as if these things were legitimate subjects for science. I think it's pure crackpottery.
