It was discovered early in the use of wormholes for transport that beyond a distance of seven and a half light-years* the jump had a deleterious effect on the human body. It is conjectured that this is associated with a phase change in spacetime at that distance which affects many but not all people.
To understand this qualitatively imagine that the fabric of spacetime has the consistency of water. We travel through this medium without notice (except for some higher order effects) as we transport. Note that the spacetime medium is not “empty” space but permeates everything including our spaceship. Empty space is itself embedded in this medium.
Now imagine that a phase change occurs in this medium, like water becoming ice. Now we nor our spaceship are adapted to this new medium. If the strain of this phase change is momentary, like breaking through a thin layer of ice, then the spaceship survives and continues its journey. But what about our bodies?
Although not proven it is thought that the phase change can have a disruptive effect at the cellular level in a human body. This seems to happen to some people while others are not affected or are only put to sleep. It appears to be a direct result of the permeability factor of the cells which varies from individual to individual . . .
