If space is a vacuum and not a fabric made out of a material how do wormholes work? (Please avoid the pen through paper analogy)

Question

I’m struggling to understand how someone can create a hole in space if space is already a vacuum. I mean, you can’t create a hole in emptiness. So where does that leave wormholes?

Answer 1

Wormholes aren’t actual holes, if you consider holes as “absence of matter”.

Wormholes are holes in space-time, and for our perception, an end of a wormhole would be similar to a black hole.
