Wait, what's this? "both black holes and wormholes sit behind an event horizon 
from which light cannot escape" - in that case, what's the use of it? If 
nothing can get out (and nothing can if light can't) then how does it differ 
from a black hole? I thought the point of wormholes was that they are 
traversable (although GR suggests they aren't except when "exotic forces" come 
into play...)


The even horizon serves to keep the riff-raff who have yet to master exotic 
matter out :)
