In principle, a wormhole-like scenario is possible, but a wormhole tends to close before objects or other matter could pass through it. As far as we know, it’s unlikely we could construct a wormhole that stays open long enough for us to get to a distant part of the universe.

That’s really the issue: Can you keep a wormhole open?

Wormholes can exist even at the quantum level, which is a very small scale, smaller than an atom. Trying to move matter through a wormhole at the classical level, the large-size level, is where it gets trickier.
