How did the wormhole come into existence?
The Prophets (see [2.3.5]) created the wormhole – it’s artificial. In Star Trek, very few stable natural wormholes are known to exist. Actually, there aren’t any at all – the ones that are stable all have something wrong with them and blow up, or become unstable, or something (see Star Trek: Voyager, S1 “Eye of the Needle” and S3 “False Profits”).
