I know some of these concepts were mentioned in one place or another. Just playing around with time travel and wormholes, since they're fun.

It takes a while, but the thought finally occurs to me. “There weren’t any gelified animal reports, right?”
I glance up and Kurisu’s staring at me with intensity.
Daru’s the one who replies. “Not that I saw.” His fingers are already swimming over the keys.
“Hmm.” I’m quiet, then speak again, expanding on my point. “Well, not that I wouldn’t panic if one appeared in a wall before me, but they’re of less note and easier to hide than a human. However! Science dictates that animal testing be completed to satisfaction before humans can enter the equation, does it not?”
Christina nods. “This sort of science, though—no respectable scientist would hide their research like this. I don’t think we can assume they’re following proper scientific procedure.”
“Well, just assuming that it was.” I’ve been skimming the internet on my phone for useful (and relevant) information. “If that’s the case, then the issue may be size or complexity. I’m inclined to think the latter is the true culprit.”
It takes Christina a moment to catch on, but she does so before Daru. Well done, assistant! “Because of the salt. And the chicken.” She frowns. “I wouldn’t consider a banana to be more complex than a chicken nugget.”
I frown. That’s a good point. Damn you, assistant! We need more detailed information from Mayuri.
“In any case, a wormhole forming from a black hole is theoretically possible. But they’re inherently unstable.” Thank you Google.
Christina nods, agreeing more readily. “Black holes suck in everything, even light. Theoretically and mathematically, relativity and time behave oddly around them. Wormholes are, on the other hand, unstable (and even more theoretical than black holes). It’s a surprise SERN manages to get their Kerr black holes to stay open long enough to get a human through to the other side, even if they don’t arrive in one piece.”
I nod. Everything I had read (apart from science fiction) had said that the wormhole would collapse too quickly for such travel to be possible. Then a slightly horrible thought occurs to me, but it’s not like we haven’t been discussing human experimentation off and on for the past hour. “Maybe SERN is not testing the apparatus itself.”
“But the stabilizer!” Kurisu exclaims in her excitement. For one instant, the scowl is replaced by a neutral look on her face before returning in full force. “I have no idea what they’re even using to get it to work however defectively. There’s exotic matter, but it’s even more unlikely they’ve found that than this whole time travel nonsense.”
“It’s useless speculating without data,” I state casually and turn to Daru. “Add it to the growing list of things to search, hack!”
“Yeah, yeah.” He’s barely listening, but he does type it with speedy fingers onto the notepad we’re using as a sort of checklist.
