I doubt it. Contrary to what these gentlemen have been preaching, the mathematics of relativity do indeed make it impossible for anything to move in spacetime. Spacetime is frozen from the infinite past to the infinite future. This is because a time dimension forbids motion altogether and one does not need to be a Wheeler or a Feynman to understand that.

As a matter of fact, the impossibility of motion in spacetime (and wormholes) is understood by a sizable faction of the physics community. You don't hear much about it much because who in their right mind would want to criticise a legendary guru like Sir Hawking or his Caltech protege Dr. Kip Thorne? After all, physicists have to make a living and jeopadizing one's career by criticising a guru is not a good way to do that. And it is especially bad form to attack someone in a wheelchair who has endeared himself to the public. Still, time travel and motion in a wormhole are pure crackpottery and no guru or mathematician can change that fact.

It's a cool trip if you were raised on Star-Trek and got excited whenever Voyager encountered a temporal anomaly. Otherwise it's pure unfettered crackpottery from a scientist who decided to take advantage of the public's gullibility and money and the tacit collusion of his colleagues. It's rather sad.
