This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The black hole-white hole model has been deprecated for a few decades 
now, so this is mainly a humorous answer, but current standard model 
wormholes would involve negative mass causing negative spacetime 
curvature, and there are several scenarios where the ends of a wormhole 
into the heart of the sun can be brought together and then leave the sun 
to return to equilibrium without destroying the earth; in fact, the 
sun's lifetime is usually extended slightly.
