But if a person folded the paper, there would be less distance for the ant to cross, and therefore the ant could cross more quickly. Wormholes bend space in the same way that the person bent the paper. In addition, just like the ant never crosses the majority of the paper, the transient never passes through the space between the entrance and the destination; he only takes a "shortcut" through the fourth dimension
