Wrong:
>However, in the pure Gauss–Bonnet gravity (a modification to general relativity involving extra spatial dimensions which is sometimes studied in the context of brane cosmology) exotic matter is not needed in order for wormholes to exist—they can exist even with no matter.

I feel like if you perfected the Alcubierre drive it could probably get you to the other side of the galaxy in a few weeks at most. Idk the specifics of speed but I'm guessing it would be improved and refined over time. Are there any numbers out there on this?

You do know, theories can be proved wrong and the fact that it is mathematically possible should be the hint that the error will probably be resolved with a Grand Unified Theory.

Yeah, so is the proof for the mechanics of traversable wormholes.
It also wouldn't exactly be the first time that something has violated "classical laws", like quantum tunnelling, superposition or entanglement, but they do.
The assert all of these things, based on mathematical models, I do the same thing. Why can you believe in one? Or use one? But not believe in the possibility of transversable wormholes?

>both Alice and Bob aged 20 mintues and 10 seconds
who gives a fuck about the fact that if you read data that comes then it looks like they are different, the point is that they're both there, the same age, since time wasn't truly slowed down for either of them
