They created something they claim has some mathematical similarities to how a wormhole would behave...in some ways in a simulation.

And to get clicks the reporter screams "they made a wormhole !"

No, no they did not, not by any stretch of the imagination. It's a mathematical trick to exploit similar physics problems to maybe learn something....

This happens a lot, every year there is a report like this, and the scientists behind it should know better and make sure the reporting doesn't go off in this crazy direction.

We don't know a way to make a wormhole, and we can't send information faster than the speed of light

There are lots of indications that information is very important and special ... and there is speculation that entanglement underlies the structure of space time...
