New user + what is up with all the mentions of fractals?

That's right. My visualisation of a trip through a wormhole looks as if it should allow long, thin objects to pass through, but Adam looked at the geometry and it seems that this isn't right. The forces in the throat would rip a longer object apart, it seems.

At least if the object is longer than the radius of the wormhole Throat.

So if you have a 1000m radius Throat then you can send a long thin ship through it - as long as it is less than 2000m long. If any part of anything transiting a WH is larger in any dimension than the radius of the Throat it will experience massive tidal strains, sufficient to break any chemical bond. But as long as you stay below that size, you can have long thin ships or spherical ships or cubes or random collections of shapes or whatever without problems.
