Actually, they do: the wormholes work exactly the way physics says they ought to. What you mean is that _stargates_ don’t work that way – which difference is explained by the techniques stargates use to inflate wormholes on demand (briefly, stargates use heavy entangled masses per the ER=EPR mechanisms suggested by Susskind & Maldacena, et. al., to comb the foam for suitable wormholes, then grab and inflate one per jump). Static wormholes, which also exist, work [perfectly physically](https://eldraeverse.com/2017/09/13/sidebar-fixed-wormholes/).
