So far as changing the topology of spacetime, NASA is (or was) investigating it as part of Alcubierre/Warp drive research[1]. That being said, a warp bubble is a far simpler goal than a wormhole.

> According to White, these results showed a vanishing but non-zero difference between charged and uncharged states after signal processing, but this difference remains inconclusive due to external interference and limits in the computational processing.

Isn't that changing the geometry, not the topology?


The Alcubierre Drive does not change topology (number of shortest paths), only geometry (lengths of the shortest path).
