NASA Discovers Hidden Portals in Earth's Upper Atmosphere

Let me preface it with this:  I find the article very much leading, making the reader think that this has substantially something to do with wormholes, but it's not.  This is a phenomenon with magnetic fields, NOT NECESSARILY WORMHOLES.  Will we be able to traverse space with these magnetic portals?  HELL NO.  (And I do mean 'hell no,' not 'heck no.') 

So what does this have to do with wormholes?  These portals come and go, creating "tunnels" of magnetic field between the sun and earth and are very unstable.  Currently, scientists do not have the intuition to explain well how this works, but this sort of behavior is seen with wormholes in the fabric of space-time.  By building the intuition and theory of how these magnetic 'portals' work, it may lead to the same intuition needed to understand wormhole behavior, and potentially learning how to stabilize them.

There is still a lot of 'ifs' and 'buts' to connect the two.  Writing an article that is 75% about wormholes is misleading.  As a physicist, however, hearing about these magnetic 'portals' is exciting; it may lead to a more comprehensive theory in magnetodynamics.  Once again, you have to be careful about how the media covers science.
