The Redford Wormhole 2019

The first generation of wormhole caches published in 2010, the series started with three caches.

The second generation published on April 1st of 2012, with the addition of even more wormholes than the first generation.

When people thought the wormholes were down and out, an explosion of caches published on April 1st of 2016.

This was the third generation.

The next year....another set would follow to become an annual tradition for Cachers to enjoy.

 

We hope you enjoy this April Fool’s Day fun!

 


A wormhole is a theoretical passage through space-time that could create shortcuts for long journeys across the universe. Wormholes are predicted by the theory of general relativity. But be wary: wormholes bring with them the dangers of sudden collapse, high radiation and dangerous contact with exotic matter.

In this case, clicking the wormhole image above will take
you to another 2019 Geocaching Wormhole. 
It should be noted that most-likely the trip will not
collapse the wormhole between here
and there, but will give you more fun playing
with Geocaching Puzzles. :)​
  

 

Star Trek : DS9 Wormhole

This year, i decided that I would go with one of my favorite genres of Sci Fi.

What does this have to do with Redford?  Not much, aside from its where I call home.

I have fond memories of the past Trek Series, including DS9, which had a major focus

on the Wormhole as part of its central theme and storylines.

 

A schematic of the Bajoran wormhole


Bajoran Wormhole
Discovered on stardate 46379.1 by Deep Space Nine science officer Jadzia Dax, the Bajoran Wormhole is the first and only completely stable wormhole known to the Federation, with either end remaining at a fixed point in space.

The inside of the wormhole

This "tunnel", approximately 90,000 light years long, connects the Alpha to the Gamma Quadrant with the same time coordinates, providing virtually instantaneous and reciprocal access. The wormhole is not actually of natural origin, having been artificially created by a race of aliens who live there, not subject to time in a linear fashion.

In the Bajoran religion, the wormhole is worshipped as the Celestial Temple of the Prophets, its builders, who sent out Orbs as contact devices. Since the discovery of the wormhole, space station Deep Space Nine has been moved from Bajor's orbit to be closer to the phenomenon.


The Puzzle below includes items from Star Trek and can all be found in that realm.

You may need to consult some 21st Century technology to assist you in your puzzle-solving.

As always, remember the first thing: the Prime Directive along with the Malus pumila.

Enjoy! :)
