Below are snippets of project ideas, correspondence between myself and other research teams (both Federation and Coridanian) and other little bits of info. Enjoy, but remember to properly credit any use of this work...I'm still expecting that big break-through any day now...I've gotta pay for that private moon somehow. ;)
Quantum Resonance Frequency
Gravity, Resonance Drives and The Wormhole
At the quantum level, all that exists, particles, waves, and everything in between (we'll call them constructs), resonant at the quantum level. This resonance is initiated by the matching local resonance of the zero-point fields in a particular point in space-time. This resonance is all pervasive. As a construct moves through space-time its frequency naturally morphs to match that of the local space-time. It is this matching of quantum resonance frequencies which allows a construct to exist in a particular point in space-time. It both allows it to be and holds it in place...if that makes sense.
By creating a quantum level zero-point field around a construct, and manipulating the quantum resonance frequency within that field, you can change the corresponding quantum resonance of the construct within. As a construct can only exist in space-time with a corresponding quantum resonance, the construct immediately exists in the matching point of space-time as soon as the field is initiated. In effect, space is folded. The construct simply reappears at the new point.
However, there are sever limitations to this...and this is where my extra credit came in. ;) Gravity actually derives from this natural attraction of construct quantum frequencies with that of a point in space-time. While a construct's resonance can shift/morph over time (quantum level times...pretty quickly), they do have to shift. For instance, this is what gives a material object it's tendency to want to hold in place. It's also why objects (or constructs) tend to want to clump. As their resonance frequencies begin to match one another, they are attracted to the same point of space-time and to each other. Gravity explained...it made my physics teacher smile anyway. :)
This limitation means that the relative distances between points in space-time that a construct can "jump" are limited. If too great a change is made in the frequency at one time, the wave pattern of the construct's wave pattern will collapse and thus cease to exist at the quantum level...presumably folding back into the zero-point field.
Applying this to a vessel then...A ship could generate a quantum resonance field around itself, shifting its frequency to that of another point in space-time, instantly transporting the ship to this new point. By having mapped out various frequencies of space-time, a vessel could navigate great distances relatively quickly by making a set of predetermined jumps. However, the frequency of the new point would have to be known precisely ahead of time. Also, there would be a theoretical limit to how far a single jump could take the vessel (in-game I've always stuck with a standard 10 light years cause it was simple). Also, the number of jumps, or changes to the vessel's frequency would be limited in a similar manner. In a case where a vessel jumped too far or too many times too quickly, it would simple flash out of existence at the new point in space-time.
Now if you've read all of this (thanks!) but what does this have to do with a stable worm hole? What better theory to state WHY a wormhole terminus remains stationary than due to its quantum resonance frequency? ;) This also explains why most move around...the terminus' frequency is just fluctuating. It also, at least in my mind, gives a plausible explanation at to their existence.
Worm holes are actually standing quantum resonance frequency waves within sub-space. Their relative frequencies on either end (the terminus) happen to correspond with a point in normal space-time instead of sub-space-time. :) The wave form is essentially static from one terminus to the other, with the only change being that relative to the local sub-space/time's quantum resonance frequency.
If any of that made sense, you're doing better than most. Most people I try to explain that too just glaze over. lol But for a scientist studying wormholes, it should be pretty interesting. :) Again I'd love to see this theory used so long as the Coridan people and I get credit. ;)
Coridan is still working on creating an actual Quantum Resonance Drive, but rumor has it there is a test unit installed in the Coridan Cruiser Tra'Grenal. That cruiser just happens to be tooling around the DQ as we speak. I'd be happy to have request it stop by Phoenix, with Command's permission of course. lol

Looks like I have just gotten the opportunity to bring some of this out in game. Discovery is "stuck" in space with no apparent external points of reference. So I might be whipping out the old Quantum Resonance to determine if we are in-fact moving, or sitting still...since the crew doesn't seem fully convinced by leaving a string of buoys. ;)

Oh and I realized that this all ties back into the Coridan governments attempts to expand on and spread the use of the Soliton Wave Transport System back a decade ago. Coridan Ambassador Herbert Resno held negotiations with the command team at SB109 back then to establish a test station for this tech...those plans feel through however.
As they attempted to increase the power and efficiency of the soliton wave form, they would have pushed further and further through sub-space layers toward the zero-point field. Since we're theorizing here that a wormhole is actually a standing, or self perpetuating, quantum resonance wave form, it stands to reason they may have started experiments on creating artificial worm holes as a result.
Then when Billy postulated the Quantum Resonance Theory, they likely saw the similarities, bringing the two together. Thus was born the Quantum Resonance Drive Project. Essentially this would then fold space, or create a VERY short artificial wormhole. ;)
It's amazing the things that come together in your head when you're half asleep. lol
